§ LORD CALVERLEYasked Her Majesty's Government whether they will state the terms on which the Independent Television Authority have acquired Adastral House for commercial television, and the terms on which the Independent Television Authority will acquire the right to use the plant of the B.B.C., paid for by B.B.C. licence holders.
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (EARL DE LA WARR)On the noble Lord's first point, my information is that Adastral House has been acquired by Associated Rediffusion Limited, one of the programme contractors, and not by the Independent Television Authority. As regards the second point, I understand that the two authorities have not yet made any definite arrangements for sharing the facilities of the British Broadcasting Corporation.
House adjourned at twenty-four minutes before seven o'clock.
