§ Mr. DORANasked the Postmaster-General the estimated cost of a year's upkeep of the new Empire broadcasting 764W station at Daventry; how many hours in the day it is likely to transmit; and what proportion of the upkeep is to come out of the present sums paid to the British Broadcasting Corporation?
§ Sir K. WOODI am not in a position to give an estimate of the cost of upkeep, the whole of which will, for the time being, be borne by the British Broadcasting Corporation. I understand from the Corporation that the new Empire service will begin with transmissions for about 70 hours a week.
