HC Deb 05 February 1970 vol 795 c185W
91. Mr. Moonman

asked the Minister of Technology if he will enter into discussions with Rediffusion Limited with a view to delaying in accordance with Her Majesty's Government's prices and incomes policy the proposed increase of 2s. 2d. per month on all television sets in Basildon New Town; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Ernest A. Davies

Rediffusion Limited approached the Ministry of Technology before implementing the recent increases in its rental charges. After a careful investigation of the company's position, we found no reason to object.
