§ Mr. Dudley Smithasked the Postmaster-General what plans have been made for low-power stations to serve those parts of the London ultra high frequency service area which will be unable to get good reception when British Broadcasting Corporation 2 starts next April.
§ Mr. BevinsI have approved in principle proposals by the B.B.C. to build the first four U.H.F. "fill-in" stations for the London service area. These will serve the Reigate, Tunbridge Wells, Guildford and Hertford areas. The B.B.C. hopes to have these four stations in service about the middle of 1965. Other shadow areas within the service area of the main London station will be provided with improved service as further fill-in stations are built.
