Television Station, Newcastle Area

HC Deb 21 February 1951 vol 484 c202W

107. Mr. Grey

asked the Postmaster-General if he can give an estimate of when he expects television for the North-East.

Mr. Ness Edwards

The five-year plan of the B.B.C. provided for a station to be opened in the area of Newcastle before the end of 1954, but I cannot say at present whether this date will be realised.
