HC Deb 19 November 1968 vol 773 c268W
Mr. Hugh D. Brown

asked the Postmaster General what representations he has received from new town development corporations for the installation of multipurpose cable systems; and what action he proposes to take.

Mr. Stonehouse

Representations have been received from Milton Keynes, Irvine and Craigavon new towns. I have agreed that, subject to the satisfactory completion of negotiations with their Development Corporations, the Post Office will be willing to tender for systems in these new towns. Negotiations are also about to start with Washington Development Corporation for an extension of the system there.
