§ 62. Mr. Chatawayasked the Postmaster-General, whether he will now give an assurance that British television will at some time change from 405 lines to 625 lines.
§ Miss PikeMy right hon. Friend regrets that he cannot give an assurance at this juncture. As my hon. Friend is aware, the Television Advisory Committee favoured the 625 line system for the long-term development of television in this country on technical grounds. The views of the Pilkington Committee on the technical as well as on the non-technical factors are not yet available.
