HC Deb 11 June 1958 vol 589 c23W
55. Mr. Mathew

asked the Postmaster-General when an alternative British Broadcasting Corporation and/or Independent Television programmes will be available for viewers in East Devon.

Mr. Marples

No decision has yet been reached on the applications made by the British Broadcasting Corporation and the Independent Television Authority for alternate programmes. As regards an I.T.A. service in East Devon, the I.T.A. development plan proposes a service for Devon, but it is not envisaged that it could be available before 1960.
