76. Commander Maitlandasked the Postmaster-General what proposals he has to improve television reception in Skegness and the surrounding area.
§ Mr. MarplesThe British Broadcasting Corporation hopes that reception in the Skegness area will improve when the power of its Norwich station is increased in a few months' time.
§ 78. Mr. Hayasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the un satisfactory reception of television programmes by viewers in the Marston district, near Oxford; and what action he is taking to improve this situation.
§ Mr. MarplesThe difficulty in this area is due to high ground which screens the radio signals from Crystal Palace. Some improvement should have resulted from the substantial increase in the power of the station last month. No other action is in contemplation.
