HC Deb 09 November 1949 vol 469 c1219

The following Question stood upon the Order Paper in the name of MR. MARPLES:

61. To ask the Postmaster-General what cuts are now proposed in the building and extension plans of the B.B.C. as have required his approval.

Mr. Marples

May I point out that the last five words should read "which have received his approval."

Mr. Wilfred Paling

The B.B.C. does not require my approval for its building plans. As regards the recent capital investment cuts, the Corporation does not propose to make any changes in the programme of television extension already announced. It is too early to say on which other parts of the B.B.C.'s capital programme savings may have to be made.
