Page 22 The licensing of other bodies or persons to broadcast television programmes for reception in the home would involve the use of the higher frequencies. On technical aspects, the Government will continue to seek advice from the Advisory Committee concerned with the development of television generally (see paragraph 28). It must be noted that the establishment of new television services would require new stations and the ancillary services, such as studios, and that the radio industry must be given as soon as possible the techni cal information necessary to enable them to design and produce adaptors for existing television sets and new receivers capable of picking up either the B.B.C. programmes or those on other frequencies.
