§ 1. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he will make a further statement on the progress made to date with the new television station in Aberdeenshire to serve the North-East of Scotland; when it will be available for use; and how far north the service will extend.
§ Mr. GammansThe permanent station for the Aberdeen area will be at Core Hill and the B.B.C. expects it to be in operation before the end of 1955. The Corporation proposes, however, to put230W up a temporary low-power station at Red-moss which will serve Aberdeen and a limited area around, and that should be working by the end of 1954.
With regard to the last part of the hon. and learned Member's Question, I cannot add to what I told him in reply to a question on 1st July.
