§ 2. Sir J. Duncanasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the bad reception of sound and television in the Forfar district; and what steps he is taking, in conjunction with the British Broadcasting Corporation, to improve it.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonReception is not good in this area because of the distance from the transmitters and intervening high ground. Similar difficult areas also exist in other parts of the country, and I cannot yet say what steps will be possible to improve the service.
§ Sir J. DuncanWill my hon. Friend, in conjunction with the B.B.C., effect some improvement in this area, because, after all, these people are paying their licences and expect the services?
§ Mr. ThompsonWe realise the difficulties of viewers and listeners in the area to which my hon. Friend refers, and they are very much in the minds of the B.B.C. and the Post Office at the moment.
