HC Deb 22 March 1950 vol 472 c1937
20. Mr. Erroll

asked the Postmaster-General if he will now issue an up to date statement of the television transmitter programme taking into account the effect of capital cuts arising from devaluation

Mr. Ness Edwards

I would refer the hon. Member to my statement during the Debate on the Post Office and Telegraph (Money) Bill on Friday last, 17th March.

Mr. Erroll

As I listened carefully to that statement and observed that it coincided with the statement of his predecessor some months ago, may I ask the Minister whether the television transmitter programme has, in fact, escaped any form of capital out?

Mr. Ness Edwards

I think the hon. Gentleman has not read what was said last Friday. If he will read it, and compare it with what my predecessor said and what was said by the Lord President of the Council at Radiolympia, I think he will get all the information he requires
