HC Deb 13 March 1957 vol 566 c185W
88. Commander Donaldson

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the discontent at the wireless reception in the Burgh of Jedburgh; what investigations have been made; and if he has any statement to make as to possible improvement in reception either by V.H.F. or other means.

Mr. K. Thompson

Yes. Although the Light Programme is received fairly satisfactorily, the Scottish Home Service is not strongly received and reception is to some extent spoiled by interference from a station in Spain and more recently from one in Hungary. We are doing what we can to clear this, but so far with little success. A V.H.F. station to serve this area is planned, but it is not yet possible to give any indication when it will be constructed.
