§ 136. Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Postmaster-General what is the average cost of providing a television receiver with an adequate service in the Western Highlands of Scotland.
§ Mr. Edward ShortNo meaningful estimate of average cost in respect of the whole of the area can be made. The B.B.C. tell me however that the average captial cost per household of serving the316W Great Glen was of the order of £30. Any extensions in the more remote areas would work out at a much higher cost per household.
