HC Deb 22 October 1952 vol 505 cc983-4
3. Lady Tweedsmuir

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether he will reconsider his decision not to supply temporary television services for the north-east of Scotland before the Coronation.

14. Miss Ward

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether, in view of the growing dissatisfaction that television is not available for the North East Coast, particularly in view of the Coronation next year, he will reconsider his decision not to proceed with Pontop Pike at the present time owing to the financial situation.

15. Captain Orr

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether he is aware that there is growing demand in Northern Ireland that television facilities should be provided in time to allow Ulster people to view the Coronation; and what steps he proposes to take to meet this demand.

Mr. Gammans

I propose with your permission, Mr. Speaker, and that of the House, to make a general statement on television after Questions.
