§ 49 and 50. Mr. BOSSOMasked the Lord President of the Council, (1) 27 whether, in view of the fact that at recent great events in Westminster Abbey a broadcast was allowed and still photographs permitted, he will make arrangements to have a cinema record of the Coronation made, the Abbey authorities or the Government to select the company to make the record of this ceremony;
(2) whether, seeing that television is now an accomplished fact and is distributed by wireless and otherwise, he will make arrangements to have the necessary apparatus installed in Westminster Abbey so that the actual Coronation ceremony may be witnessed throughout the Empire?
§ The LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)The matters referred to in these two questions are under consideration. Until experiments have gone a little further perhaps my hon. Friend will be good enough to allow me to say nothing more at present.
