§ 19. Captain Richard Pilkingtonasked the Assistant Postmaster-General when he expects the new television transmitter at the Wenvoe Station, which is scheduled to cover south-west England, to be completed.
§ Mr. GammansIt is too early to say when the high power transmitter will be completed, but the B.B.C. hopes to open the station on low power in August.
§ Mr. Edward ShortIn considering this matter, will the Assistant Postmaster-General bear in mind that one of the most populous and productive parts of the country, the north-east, is without a television service of any kind?
§ Mr. GammansI am aware of that, but it does not arise on this Question.
§ 32. Mr. George Thomasasked the Assistant Postmaster-General when he anticipates that the Wenvoe television transmitter will be in operation.
§ Mr. GammansThe B.B.C. hopes to open the station on low power in August.
Mr. Charles Ian Orr-EwingIs the low power transmitter which the B.B.C. are to use for this area the one that should have been erected at Pontop Pike and which would have given the North-East Coast the television they desire?
§ Mr. GammansI should want notice of that question.
