§ 16. Mr. Scott-Hopkinsasked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications whether he will make available further resources to the British Broadcasting Corporation in order that the low power 625-line booster station building programme can be accelerated.
§ Mr. ChatawayNo. The programme depends on technical as well as on financial resources. I have just announced an increase in the licence fee to allow the B.B.C. among other things to continue to extend the U.H.F. television services as fast as is practicable.
