§ 32. Mr. Staintonasked the Postmaster-General why the British Broadcasting Corporation is now unable before 1968 to meet the forecast first made in respect of 1966, to operate a new transmitter and aerial mast at Little Connard, near Sudbury, for B.B.C.2 programmes and colour television; and whether a firm date can yet be given.
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterThe construction time-table for the B.B.C.'s stations is the Corporation's responsibility. They tell me that there has been some delay in the manufacture of the aerial which is now expected to be delivered in the new year. Given fair weather for fitting and testing the aerial, the station should open early next year.
