HC Deb 26 April 1949 vol 464 c11
48. Colonel J. R. H. Hutchison

asked the Postmaster-General when he proposes to set up a television station in Scotland.

The Assistant Postmaster-General (Mr. Hobson)

My right hon. Friend regrets there is nothing he can acid to the answer which he gave to the hon. Member for Edinburgh, South (Sir W. Darling) on 6th April.

Colonel Hutchison

Does not the hon. Gentleman think that the weight of population in the central belt in Scotland justifies some plan being made for some such station?

Mr. Hobson

It is a question of making manpower and raw materials available.
