Answering another Labour member, the Rev. R. W. Sorensen, Mr. Duff-Cooper said the period would certainly include a national song for Russia.
Following Mr. Duff-Cooper's statement In the House, the B.B.C. later announced that the national anthem period next Sunday evening will be devoted to French national airs. The following Sunday the period will be devoted to Russian airs.
