HC Deb 22 May 1928 vol 217 c1679
40. Sir R. HUTCHISON

asked the Postmaster-General whether he can now make any further statement about the possibility of furnishing a high-power broadcasting station in Scotland, preferably in the midlands, which could supply transmission to the more remote and distant parts of Scotland?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

The British Broadcasting Corporation have a scheme under which the existing broadcasting stations would be replaced by a small number of regional high-power stations. As the first stage in this scheme, a high-power station will be erected near Potters Bar, but as the scheme is still in the experimental stage I cannot give any forecast of its future development in Scotland or elsewhere.
