HC Deb 16 June 1965 vol 714 cc77-8W
68. Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Postmaster-General if he will now announce his proposals for the fourth television channel.

AGRICULTURE (MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS) ACT, 1963
GRANTS TO INDIVIDUAL CO-OPERATIVE BODIES UNDER SECTIONS 6 AND 9
Section of Act Purpose of Grant Number of Grants approved under Act
6. Grants towards construction of certain buildings used by farmers' machinery syndicates Erection or extension of buildings for grain drying and storage 4*
9. Grants for promotion of efficient marketing (Market Development Scheme) Formation of local producers' marketing organisations 9
Promotion of business efficiency in existing local producers' marketing businesses 6†
Promotion of efficient marketing by local producers' marketing businesses through market research or operation of local marketing arrangements 42‡
*11 grants for the same purposes were previously approved under Annual Appropriation Acts.
† 3 grants for the same purposes were previously approved under Annual Appropriation Acts.
‡ 2 grants for the same purposes were previously approved under Annual Appropriation Acts.

I regret that I am unable to publish a list of individual recipients of grants as it is not our policy to make public information relating to individual producers' co-operatives.

Mr. Benn

As I said during the debate on 13th May, this is one of a number of related matters, the full implications of which are being studied in the Government's review of broadcasting policy. The review is proceeding as rapidly as possible, but it is too early yet for me to announce any proposals.
