DRAFT FA
The broadcasting coverage of the Far Sast, including China,
is the function of the B,B,C's station in Singapore, not of
Radio Hong Kong, and it is to the Singapore Station, not to
Hong Kong, that the necessary high frequencies have been
allotted for the purpose by recent international agreement,
As I recently informed ny Honourable Friend the Member
for Hornsey, the possibility is being examined of an increase
Hornsey,
in power for Hong Kong's medium frequency broadcasting service.
Such an increase might incidentally render it audible in parts
of South China, but its primary concern is, and must be, to
give an effective service in the Colony.
