§ 75. Mr. Chetwyndasked the Postmaster-General why no medium wave low-power sound transmitter has been allocated to Tees-side in view of the poor reception of the Home Service in that area; and what action he is taking to eliminate interference.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsThe B.B.C. is unable to provide an unlimited number of additional stations and has considered first those areas where the need for improvement is greatest. I understand that the Home Service should be received satisfactorily from Stagshaw on 261 metres. The Spanish authorities have removed their interference with Moorside Edge on 434 metres. The Russian interference is less troublesome than earlier in the year and I hope it will disappear.
