HC Deb 20 February 1962 vol 654 c35W
87. Mr. Mason

asked the Postmaster-General if he will investigate the circumstances under which a summary of the Pilkington Committee's recommendations, to the effect that Great Britain should have coin in the slot television, that the British Broadcasting Corporation should have an extra television channel and that there should be a gradual switchover in line standard from 405 lines to 625 lines, was divulged before 13th February, 1962, details of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for Barnsley; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Bevins

No. As the Committee on Broadcasting has not yet finished its Report or made any recommendations, I do not know how it is possible to summarise them.
