HC Deb 20 November 2003 vol 413 cc1437-8W
Mr. Flook

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, how many telephone masts there are in(a) Somerset, (b) Devon, (c) Dorset, (d) Wiltshire and (e) Cornwall. [136901]

Mr. Timms

According to information registered on the Radiocommunications Agency's Sitefinder, which shows the location of cellular transmission sites, the number of transmitters in the counties specified isapproximately:

  1. (a) Somerset: 270;
  2. (b) Devon: 660;
  3. (c) Dorset: 230;
  4. (d) Wiltshire: 320;
  5. (e) Cornwall: 370.
There may be more than one transmitter at any one location because of mast sharing so the numbers of masts would be lower.
