HC Deb 17 December 1969 vol 793 c317W
2. Mr. Palmer

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works if, in view of the fact that the final report on the excavations at Silbury Hill, Wiltshire, is not expected to be available for a considerable time, he will arrange for an interim report to be made on the discoveries so far.

Mr. John Silkin

This is a matter for the British Broadcasting Corporation as it is it, and not my Ministry, which has arranged and financed the work. A series of reports was made on B.B.C. Television as the excavations proceeded.

I have, however, asked the Corporation to consider publishing an account of the work in advance of the definitive report.
