Oral Answers to Questions — Local Government: Water (Underground Supply and Storage) (18 Jul 1963)

Flight Lieut Wavell Wakefield: In view of the very great need, does not the Parliamentary Secretary agree that it is essential that this question of the examination of underground water storage possibilities should be pressed on with all speed?

Friend aware that it is now over five years since the boroughs of St. Marylebone, Hampstead, Paddington and St. Pancras made most urgent representations for the building of this pavilion?

Orders of the Day — Television Bill: Clause 13. — (Second Television Service Provided by Authority.) (27 Jun 1963)

Flight Lieut Wavell Wakefield: The more I have listened to hon. Members on both sides of the House the more I have become convinced that the best way to solve this difficult problem would be to have a third channel shared by the B.B.C. and commercial television. The Government suggest that the third channel should be given exclusively to the B.B.C. As has already been said this evening, reference is made in the White...

Orders of the Day — Television Bill: Clause 13. — (Second Television Service Provided by Authority.) (27 Jun 1963)

Flight Lieut Wavell Wakefield: If my hon. Friend will permit me to finish what I am saying, I will then give way. As I was saying, the hon. Member for North-field made some pertinent observations and I would have thought that they supported the proposal that I am making, namely, that if the third channel were shared by commercial television and the B.B.C, both would be able to experiment and develop. 10.30 p.m. The money...

Orders of the Day — Television Bill: Clause 13. — (Second Television Service Provided by Authority.) (27 Jun 1963)

Flight Lieut Wavell Wakefield: That would be entirely a matter for my right hon. Friend the Postmaster-General. All I am suggesting is that here is an opportunity to have commercial broadcasting side by side with the B.B.C. which, instead of having to provide all the equipment and all the finance for this programme, would have to provide a part only. Now that the hon. Member for Barnsley (Mr. Mason) is in his place again,...

Orders of the Day — Television Bill (24 Jun 1963)

Flight Lieut Wavell Wakefield: There is one thing which bothers me a little about the Amendment, namely, the possibility of retaliation. It would be a serious matter if other countries, because of the Amendment, retaliated against us. We want to do everything we can to export our goods and, with the exporting of our goods, perhaps the appropriate advertisements to be shown in other countries, where that is possible. I...

Orders of the Day — Television Bill (24 Jun 1963)

Flight Lieut Wavell Wakefield: Would not the hon. Member for Swindon (Mr. F. Noel-Baker) agree that advertisements invariably inform, frequently entertain and usually educate?
