§ Mr. Ness Edwardsasked the Postmaster-General (1) what steps are being taken to reach a final decision on the colour system to be adopted for television; and if the matter has yet been referred to the Television Advisory Committee;
(2) whether, in the general authorisation he has given to the British Broadcasting Corporation for television colour transmissions, he has included experiments with the three available types of colour receiver.
§ Mr. BevinsI would refer the right hon. Gentleman to my reply to the hon. Member for Glasgow, Shettleston (Sir M. Galpern), on 31st May, 1963. The B.B.C.'s experimental colour transmissions are designed to test the three different colour television systems overall and not merely the receivers needed to display the differing signals.
