§ 28. Mr. Dayasked the Postmaster-General particulars of the reason for the 1592 delay in completing the arrangements of the proposed television station at Birmingham; and when it is contemplated that this or other similar television station will be opened in the provinces?
§ Sir W. WomersleyThe question of extending the television service to areas outside the present range of the London station has been considered by the Television Advisory Committee, who have decided that further research is necessary on certain aspects of the problem. This research is in progress and, until it is completed, the committee will not be in a position to make any recommendation concerning the establishment of additional television stations.
§ Sir W. WomersleyThat is a matter about which I have to inquire, but I can assure the hon. Gentleman that this committee is pursuing its research night and day.
§ Mr. DayIs it intended to link up the provinces with the television broadcast from the London end?
