§ 71. Sir H. Roperasked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether, in view of the small proportion of listeners who listen to the Third Programme of the British Broadcasting Corporation and the much larger proportion to whom their own regional programme cannot be made available owing to the insufficient allotment of wavelengths, consideration will be given to the transfer of a wavelength from the Third Programme to the regional service.
§ Mr. GammansNo. The B.B.C. informs me that the two wavelengths used for the Third Programme are required to give a reasonable coverage.
