HC Deb 09 March 1965 vol 708 c53W

80. Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Postmaster-General whether he proposes to allow a second channel for Independent Television.

Mr. Benn

As I said in reply to the right hon. Member for Rushcliffe (Sir M. Redmayne) on 26th January, 1965, the Government are considering whether a fourth television service should be introduced, and, if so, who should operate it.
