HC Deb 01 August 1956 vol 557 c152W
Mr. John Hall

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has yet replied to the request by the Independent Television Authority for a grant under Section 11 of the Television Act; and whether he will make a statement.

Dr. Hill

Yes. I have informed the Independent Television Authority that because of the general economic situation and the need for economy in Government expenditure no grant can be made under Section 11 of the Television Act, 1954, in the current financial year.
