HC Deb 29 March 1961 vol 637 cc134-5W
62. Sir J. Maitland

asked the Postmaster-General what are the difficulties in obtaining a site in Skegness for the satellite television station; and what steps are being taken to overcome them.

Miss Pike

As a reliable signal cannot be directly picked up in the Skegness area for rebroadcasting, a site has to be found for a link station as well as for the Skegness station itself.

We understand that the B.B.C. is negotiating for a site for the link station and, if it succeeds, it hopes to put its proposals for both sites to my right hon. Friend shortly.
