§ 40. Mr. Kitsonasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that the British Broadcasting Corporation television reception in the Aysgarth and Leyburn districts is unsatisfactory; and if he will take action to improve the present position.
§ Mr. BevinsI agree that reception of B.B.C. television in parts of Yorkshire is unsatisfactory, and this is aggravated during the summer months by interference from television stations on the Continent. The B.B.C. tells me that it will bear in mind the needs of this area, together with those of the many other areas with poor reception, when planning further stages of its satellite station scheme.
