Mr. Haymanasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the variability of the reception in Redruth and district of the West of England Home Service 296W Programme, he will ask the British Broadcasting Corporation, until this defect is rectified, to re-broadcast it from the Redruth transmitter instead of the Third Programme.
§ Mr. HobsonThe B.B.C. has taken note of this suggestion and my right hon. Friend understands it is being examined with other proposals for improving Home Service reception in various parts of the country including Cornwall.
