§ Mr. Barnettasked the Postmaster-General what figures have been obtained by Her Majesty's Government, in the preparation of the National Plan, or otherwise, as to the total estimated cost, 44W both private and public, of the provision of colour television.
§ Mr. BennThe cost of colour television will depend upon the choice of transmission system and the technical assumptions that choice might involve. The Television Advisory Committee is considering these issues. As soon as its advice is available, the Government will reach a decision on the introduction of a service; and the cost will certainly be a factor to be considered.
