HC Deb 23 February 1966 vol 725 c390
6. Mr. Rowland

asked the Postmaster-General if he will publish a more detailed version of the map contained in the Post Office Joint Production Council's leaflet N.I.17 on the Post Office tower so that the location of all towers needed for the published network of radio links is shown.

Mr. Benn

No, Sir.

Mr. Rowland

Does my right hon. Friend not believe that the public have a right to be informed nationally of the locality of the 67 towers over 100 ft. high, 34 of which are over 200 ft. in height? Will he look at this matter again?

Mr. Benn

I have explained the reason to my hon. Friend in previous answers and in correspondence. I cannot say more at this stage; but to print maps specially for this purpose would be very expensive. Local authorities and amenity bodies are always consulted.
