Detector vans to catch viewers using TV sets without a licence will soon cover the whole country, Mr David Gammans, Assistant Postmaster- General, told the Commons tonight.

He explained: "Wherever the vans have appeared, the number of applications for licences has shot up."

Mr Gammans was moving the approval of the Government's licence for the BBC to operate for the next ten years.

On the future of TV he said: "We regret we are not likely to see colour, by the Coronation. It is extremely expensive, and 1} cannot give any indication, when the BBC is likely to operate H."

Mr Gommans emphasised that when colour TV does arrive, pre- sent sets will be able to receive the programmes In black and white.
