§ 16. Mr. Scott-Hopkinsasked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications whether he will report progress on the construction of television booster stations for 625-line reception in Derbyshire.
§ Sir J. EdenAll three UHF services have been transmitted from the station at Glossop since August. The IBA began transmitting from the Ladder Hill station 10 days ago and the BBC hopes to do so shortly. The BBC and IBA tell me that they expect to complete 10 stations in Derbyshire by the end of 1975.
§ Mr. Scott-HopkinsCan my right hon. Friend say anything more about the station which will be transmitting 625-line broadcasts from Stanton Moor and the other stations which were scheduled to come into operation in 1973–74 to cover the west of Derbyshire, which at the moment has no 625-line transmission?
§ Sir J. EdenStanton Moor is expected to open in the summer of 1974, as is Ashbourne. Bolehill, Calver Peak and Shatton are all expected to open in 1975.
