HC Deb 03 July 1962 vol 662 c29W
49. Captain Orr

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will state the names of the technical advisers who were appointed to advise the Pilkington Committee on Broadcasting.

Miss Pike

No technical advisers were so appointed, but, of course, the Committee membership included Dr. Smith Rose, a radio scientist. The Committee had before them the Television Advisory Committee Report, 1960. They also had papers on technical matters, supplemented by oral evidence, from amongst others, the B.B.C. and I.T.A., the Post Office, and the radio industry. They were, of course, able to seek advice where they wished.
