115. Commander Maitlandasked the Postmaster-General whether the British Broadcasting Corporation station at Norwich is now working at full power; to what extent this has improved television reception in the Skegness-Mablethorpe area; and what further steps will be taken immediately to provide better service.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonThe Norwich television station is on full power but the Corporation tell me that unfortunately this does not give better reception in the Skegness-Mablethorpe area than Holme Moss. Ultimately it may be possible to provide a low-power satellite transmitter at least to serve Skegness itself, but as there are other areas in the country with reception conditions equally poor or worse the British Broadcasting Corporation cannot quote any date.
