§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Postmaster-General what is his policy towards the N.T.S.C. system of colour television; what consideration he has given to any alternative system; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BennRecent reports suggesting that the United Kingdom's support for the N.T.S.C. system is no longer so firm are without foundation. The fact is rather that developments over the last few months have served rather to strengthen the Government's view that the N.T.S.C. system should be adopted. In particular, a former criticism that it was unsuitable for transmitting over long distances has been shown to be unfounded.
