HC Deb 28 October 1965 vol 718 c340
28. Mr. Barnett

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs if in the context of the National Plan he will take steps to ensure that the provision of colour television has a very low priority.

Mr. George Brown

I will see it gets the priority it deserves.

Mr. Barnett

Would my right hon. Friend not agree that it shows an odd sense of priorities to speed the bringing in of colour television while limiting the growth of public expenditure in the field of education and the social services and in particular, as shown by the National Plan, limiting aid to underdeveloped countries?

Mr. Brown

I do not know who has this odd sense of priorities.
