Abstract
AN important statement was issued on August 24 outlining the Government‘s policy on the development of television in Great Britain. It will be recalled that the Television Committee, under the chairmanship of Lord Hankey, issued its report early in 1945 with a number of specific recommendations on the manner in which, after the War, a public television service should be resumed and developed in Britain (see Nature, 155, 615 ; 1945). Acting with commendable speed and efficiency, the B.B.C. implemented the first of the recommendations by reopening the London Television Service from the Alexandra Palace Station in June 1946. Next, with the view of extending the existing service to other parts of the country, work was begun on a similar station near Birmingham.
