§ Mr. Wingfield Digbyasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the poor television reception in West Dorset, particularly during the summer when the weather is good; and if he has approved the building of a relay station in this area.
§ Mr. MawbyI understand that, in recent weeks, reception of B.B.C. television in West Dorset has suffered from interference of varying intensity in different parts of the area. The answer to the second part of the Question is: No. Summertime interference with B.B.C. 49W television is severe in many parts of the country and the B.B.C. has to give priority, in planning relay stations, to the areas most affected.
