§ Captain Bullockasked the Assistant Postmaster-General the present position with regard to the development of arrangements for the exchange of television programmes between Great Britain and France.
§ Mr. GammansThis is a matter for the B.B.C. who inform me that they are in close touch with the French Broadcasting authority, Radiodiffusion et Télévision Françaises, and have a standing arrangement for discussion of possible exchanges of television programmes at meetings of the Anglo-French Television Liaison Committee. Discussions are now going on with a view to relaying the B.B.C.'s broadcasts of the Coronation ceremonies in France, among other countries on the continent, and technical tests are to be carried out for this purpose in April. The B.B.C.'s part in these relays will be confined to providing a link as far as Dover.
