HC Deb 14 July 1965 vol 716 c78W
Mr. Mapp

asked the Postmaster-General if he will give an estimate for the latest available year of the revenue received by the independent television companies and/or the Independent Television Authority in respect of commercial advertising.

On the basis of information supplied to me by the Independent Television Authority I estimate that the advertising revenue received by the independent television programme companies during the year ended 29th July, 1965 will amount to about £81 million.
