§ 65. Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the Postmaster-General if he will refund to television licenceholders in East Anglia a proportion of their £4 licence fee in recognition of the fact that they ate frequently unable to receive clear images on their screen due to Continental interference; and what other steps he will take either to rectify this situation, or to compensate licenceholders who are getting a less good service than they had reason to expect when they paid their fee.
§ Mr. MawbyIt would not be practicable to vary television licence fees according to reception conditions, which may vary not only from place to place, but also from time to time; and my right hon. Friend could not make an exception for East Anglia. On the general problem of Continental interference, I would refer my hon. Friend to the Answer to the hon. Member for Birmingham, Perry Barr (Mr. Charles A. Howell) on 23rd June.
