HC Deb 16 May 1956 vol 552 c1974
9. Mr. Hobson

asked the Postmaster-General what amount has been paid by the Independent Television Authority to the General Post Office for transmissions of television programmes since its inception.

Dr. Hill

Twenty-one thousand and eighty pounds.

Mr. Hobson

Can the right hon. Gentleman now assure the House that the I.T.A. is paying precisely the same rates as the B.B.C. in view of the somewhat ugly rumours that are prevalent?

Dr. Hill

Yes, Sir.
