§ 32. Mr. Freudasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his current estimate of the first transmission date for ITV 2.
§ Mr. WhitelawI am not yet able to give an estimate for the starting date for the fourth channel service announced in the Queen's Speech. It will depend not only on the passage of the legislation which we are to introduce but also on the rate of progress that can be made with the necessary engineering work and subsequently with the organisational arrangements and the preparation of programmes.
