§ 2. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Assistant Postmaster-General what steps he is taking to apply nuclear power to the production and projection of television pictures through Britain.
§ Mr. GammansThe B.B.C. are not aware that it is possible to apply nuclear power to television, but I shall be glad to put to them any proposal which the hon. and learned Member may have.
§ Mr. HughesIs the Minister not aware that this matter has already been discussed in scientific papers? Will he take steps to secure the scientific distribution of television instead of wasting his time making invidious distinctions against the North of Scotland and Cornwall?
§ Mr. GammansI am not quite sure what Cornwall has to do with this Question, but the B.B.C. have never heard of the application of nuclear energy to television. If the hon. and learned Gentleman has any proposals to make in the matter, I shall be delighted to pass them on.
§ Mr. HobsonWill the hon. Gentleman give us due warning when these experiments are going to take place?
§ Mr. Langford-HoltWill my hon. Friend tell us what is likely to happen when television pictures are "projected through Britain"?
