§ 33. Sir F. Medlicottasked the Postmaster-General what discussions he has had with the British Broadcasting Corporation regarding the allocation to regional use of wavelengths 464 metres and 194 metres.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonNone, Sir.
§ Sir F. MedlicottWill my hon. Friend use his influence to secure that these wavelengths continue, either nationally or regionally, to be available for Third Programme type of material which to many people provides a refreshing oasis of culture in a great desert of so-called entertainment?
§ Mr. ThompsonI have no doubt that that is precisely the kind of consideration which the B.B.C. has in mind in the examination it is now making of its sound broadcasting services.
