The bill will enable single receiving aerials, designed to serve

all the television sets in a building, to be erected on single or on

adjoining blocks under common ownership, subject to certain safeguards

in respect of public safety and technical standards.

In effect, this will mean better reception in certain areas.

Mr. Cater expressed the hope that the introduction of such aerials would

also help "to stop the unsightly proliferation of individual aerials

on rooftops which exist at present."

The conditions governing the scope of wired closed circuit

television, he said, would permit the installation of such systems in

hotels, banks and department stores, among others, but the operators

would be prohibited from transmitting advertisements.

Closed circuit television would not be permitted for entertainment

purposes except for private entertainment in peoples' homes.
