§ Mr. HUTCHISONasked the Postmaster-General whether it is intended to set up any special committee to inquire into the recommendations made in the report of the Television. Committee that sponsored programmes should be permitted to assist towards the cost of any television service?
§ Sir K. WOODThe Television Committee recommended that the permission given in the British Broadcasting Corporation's existing licence to accept certain types of sponsored programmes should be applied also to the television service. This recommendation has been approved; but the question whether advantage should be taken of the permission, and if so to what extent, will, as in the case of the existing service, be left to the Corporation to decide.
