HC Deb 27 July 1955 vol 544 cc143-4W
61. Sir R. Grimston

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will delay making a decision regarding allocation of wave-length channels in Band III for a third television service until the public have had an adequate opportunity of judging the merits of the rival television service, and until a technical appreciation is available as to whether such a programme ought to be started in black and white or colour.

Mr. Gammans

My right hon. Friend is examining the question of allocation of Band III channels, but it will be some time before a decision can be reached on this difficult problem.
