HC Deb 24 April 1947 vol 436 cc142-3W
125. Mr. W. Shepherd

asked the Postmaster-General what are the present prospects of increase in the television service.

Mr. Burke

The present restrictions on the British Broadcasting Corporation television programmes are related to the fuel emergency. I understand that my right hon. Friend the Minister of Fuel and Power is to make a statement on the general fuel situation later this afternoon, and it would not be right for me to anticipate him in this particular.
