Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Wireless and Television – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 17 December 1958.
The broad position is as stated in my reply to the right hon. Member for Clackmannan and East Stirling (Mr. Woodburn) on 5th November. The main technical problems are the system to be used, the definition standards to be adopted and the production of a reliable and economic colour receiver. As the hon. Member knows, the Television Advisory Committee has been asked to report as soon as possible.
