HC Deb 11 July 1946 vol 425 c107W
41. Mr. Gooch

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General if, in the reorganisation of the regions of the B.B.C., he will take steps to ensure that the Home Service will be received at equal quality and strength throughout the whole of Norfolk.

Mr. Burke

It is not practicable to ensure that the Home Service will be received at equal quality and strength over the whole of Norfolk. The B.B.C.'s reorganisation will, however, improve reception of the Home Service in much of the area in which reception is at present unsatisfactory.

44. Commander Agnew

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether, before implementing the proposal of His Majesty's Government, as stated in Cmd. 6852, to merge the West Regional wireless programme into the Midland programme, he will cause local public inquiries to be held in Cornwall and other western counties similarly affected.

Mr. Bourke

No, Sir. The Government do not consider that local public inquiries would provide any relevant information they do not already possess.
