§ 56. Mr. Llewellynasked the Postmaster-General whether he will make a statement concerning the progress made in the erection of the television station a Wenvoe; what shortage of materials or labour has been encountered; and whether it is anticipated that shortages will adversely affect existing plans.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsThe B.B.C. informs me that progress with the television station at Wenvoe is so far proceeding according to schedule; no shortages of consequence either of material or labour have been encountered as yet, but I cannot forecast the future.
§ Mr. LlewellynCan the right hon. Gentleman say for what date the completion of this station is planned, unless unfortunate shortages intervene in the meantime?
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsI think we gave a rough date of mid-1952. I do not think it will be any later on present performance, but one cannot tell the future position of labour and materials.
