HC Deb 18 January 1971 vol 809 cc216-7W
Mr. Mudd

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications on what date B.B.C.1 colour transmissions will commence from Caradon Hill; and under what circumstances the commencement date, estimated on 3rd September, 1970, as being December, 1970–February, 1971, has been deferred.

Mr. Chataway

The B.B.C. which is primarily responsible for announcing the opening dates of its stations, tells me that, given reasonably good weather, it still hopes that the work will be completed in time to start transmissions from Caradon Hill in February; but it says that it is too soon for it to announce a firm opening date.
