§ Mr. F. Noel-Bakerasked the Postmaster-General what steps he will take to investigate and to improve the reception of radio programmes in the Swindon area.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonProvided suitable receiving sets and outdoor aerials are used, reception of sound radio programmes, including the Midland Home Service, in the Swindon area should be reasonably satisfactory. The London Home Service is subject to interference from a foreign station. The B.B.C. assure me that the needs of this area are being borne in mind for future planning, but no definite date for improvement can be quoted. We will, of course, investigate any specific cases of poor reception brought to our notice.
