§ 64. Sir W. Wakefieldasked the Postmaster-General what advice was given to him by his Television Advisory Committee in connection with the adoption in the United Kingdom of a dual standard television system for the transmission and reception of the European 625 line 50 fields system, as well as the United States 525 line 60 fields system.
§ Mr. BevinsThe Committee's advice is contained in a letter to me dated 13th June from the Chairman. I have placed a copy of this letter in the Library, and I am sending my hon. Friend a copy. The Committee's view is that, while a dual-standard television system of this kind might prove to be a worthwhile development in the long term, it would be quite impracticable to introduce such a system for at least another 10 years. I have accepted this advice.
