HC Deb 07 April 1949 vol 463 cc206-7W
80. Mr. Wilkes

asked the Postmaster-General for what reason the North East of England is excluded from the list of areas in regard to which it has recently been announced that television facilities are to be extended within the near future.

Mr. Hobson

I am unable to identify the list of areas referred to. On the question of extending the television service to the North East of England, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answers my right hon. Friend gave to the hon. Member for Bolton (Mr. J. Lewis) on 9th February and the hon. Member for Durham (Mr. Grey) on 9th March.
