HC Deb 29 March 1927 vol 204 cc1044-5
60. Colonel DAY

asked the Postmaster-General when the regional scheme for broadcasting on higher wave-lengths will be completed so that listeners will be able to obtain alternative programmes on higher wave-lengths from the Daventry Broadcasting Station?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

The British Broadcasting Corporation inform me that they propose to carry out experiment at Daventry at an early date, and when these have been completed they may be in a position to submit proposals for the establishment of regional high-power stations?

Colonel DAY

Can the right hon. Gentleman say on what wave lengths these experiments will be carried out?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

I do not know that it is definitely settled, but the idea is to have two wave lengths, one of 1,600 and another of 400.
