HC Deb 08 February 1960 vol 617 cc13-4W
Mr. de Freitas

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that in parts of Lincolnshire and Northern England the reception of the British Broadcasting Corporation's North Home Service often suffers serious interference from transmissions from Erfurt in Eastern Germany; and what he is doing to reduce the interference.

Mr. Bevins

I am aware that interference to the British Broadcasting Corporation's North Home Service on the medium wavelength has become more severe. My Department has consulted the Foreign Office about it and Her Majesty's Government will continue to try to do away with the trouble.

In most of the area where the interference is occurring the North Home Service is available on V.H.F. which is free from foreign interference.
