§ Mr. Haymanasked the Postmaster-General what progress has been made by the British Broadcasting Corporation on the development of a low-power satellite transmitter; and when West Cornwall can expect to get better television reception.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonField trials of an experimental low-power satellite television transmitter have taken place and the B.B.C. are now considering plans for the installation over the next two years of a limited number of these stations. The Corporation are mindful of the needs of West Cornwall; but, until I have studied these plans, I cannot say when reception conditions there can be improved.
