§ 64. Mr. BARNESasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that owners of crystal sets in the East End of London are experiencing difficulties in the reception of London programmes; and whether he will make representations to the British Broadcasting Company to improve their service?
§ Viscount WOLMERComplaints have been made that the reception of broadcast programmes in the East End of London has been more difficult since the recent transfer of the London Broadcasting Station to a new site. Representations have been made to the British Broadcasting Company, who state that while satisfactory reception is still possible with efficient crystal sets up to a distance of 20 miles from the new station. they hope, by an alteration in the transmitting apparatus, to increase the strength of the signals in East London at an early date. I think it only fair to add that reception in London on the whole has been improved by the change.
