§ 105. Sir L. Plummerasked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether any committee has yet been set up to investigate the problems of mobile radio operating in Band III; and whether he will announce the names of the members of that committee.
§ Mr. GammansYes. An informal committee has been appointed under the Chairmanship of the Director of Radio and Accommodation of the Post Office. The membership comprises two representatives of the Mobile Radio Users' Association, one representative of the Radio Advisory Service of the Chamber of Shipping, two representatives of the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation and two other representatives of the Post Office. There are two secretaries, one from the Post Office and one from the Mobile Radio Users' Association.
It is likely that as the work of the committee proceeds its membership will be extended to include representatives of other interests, e.g., the equipment manufacturers and authorities responsible for the operation of ambulance services.
§ 106. Mr. Hirstasked the Assistant Postmaster-General by what date he expects Band III to be cleared for television.
