HC Deb 07 June 1961 vol 641 c94W
Mr. Mason

asked the Postmaster-General what recommendations his Department intend to place before the Stockholm Conference on the questions of lineage and colour television.

Mr. Bevins

The Conference is primarily concerned with international frequency planning problems. Its task is to review the use made of the V.H.F. bands and to concert the frequency plans of each country for the use of U.H.F. broadcasting in the European area. United Kingdom plans are flexible enough to allow for a changeover to 625 lines or the retention of 405 lines, and for the introduction of colour television.
