§ Mr. BAKERasked the Postmaster-General whether he will consult the British Broadcasting Board as to the desirability of transmitting from more than one station in London, on different wave-lengths, so that wireless receivers, may have a greater choice of programme?
§ Mr. HARTSHORNExperiments are now being conducted by means of a station at Chelmsford in order to ascertain whether a station of considerably higher power than the present London broadcasting station can be established in the neighbourhood of London without serious detriment to other important services. If, following on these experiments, such a station is established, a choice of programmes will be possible in the case of persons using suitable receiving sets.
§ Mr. BAKERasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the growing interest in Parliament, he will consider the desirability of making arrangements whereby a résumé of the day in Parliament may be broadcasted between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. each evening when the House is sitting, the summary to occupy no more than 15 minutes?
§ Mr. HARTSHORNTwo new bulletins compiled by the principal news agencies are broadcast from the British Broadcasting Company's stations each evening, usually at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. They include any items of Parliamentary news that are of special interest, and I think they meet the present requirements of the public in this respect.
