HC Deb 23 February 1949 vol 461 cc283-4W
21. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Postmaster-General what steps he is taking to establish television stations which will make television available to people in the North-East of Scotland.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

None as yet. It is too early to add to the information I gave in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Bolton (Mr. J. Lewis) on the 9th February.

37. Dr. Segal

asked the Postmaster-General what are the northernmost limits at which it is intended television programmes will be satisfactorily received when the new television station for South Lancashire is completed.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

The northernmost limits at which television programmes will be received from this station cannot be settled until a site has been definitely decided on, but the B.B.C. expects that it will be possible for the programmes to be received satisfactorily in Preston.
