HC Deb 09 November 1949 vol 469 c1214
64. Mr. Marples

asked the Postmaster-General what month during 1951 does he expect to complete and open the Holme Moss television transmitting station.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

The B.B.C. hopes to open this station by the middle of 1951 but it is too early yet to say in which month.

Mr. Marples

Does the right hon. Gentleman mean to say that he entered into a commitment to spend public money without having a completion date inserted in the contract?
