§ 64. Colonel Errollasked the Minister of Information, whether he will arrange with the B.B.C. to change the wavelength of the transmission now broadcast on a wavelength of 261 metres.
Mr. WilliamsNo, Sir. This is the medium wavelength allocated to the national programme and I see no reason why the B.B.C. should be asked to change it.
§ Colonel ErrollIs not the Minister aware that this wavelength is very difficult for the owners of utility sets, as the sets do not take this wavelength at all well, and as a change of wavelength would cause a great deal of satisfaction, would he not go back to the old one?
Mr. WilliamsI was under the impression that the hon. and gallant Gentleman obtained satisfaction from the President of the Board of Trade yesterday on this matter. It is not really a matter of wavelengths but of sets. Apparently that can be rectified now if the sets are taken to the right people and an adaptor purchased.
§ Colonel ErrollHas the Minister tried to take a set to the right people to get an adaptor?
