HC Deb 29 July 1964 vol 699 cc325-6W
Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Aviation what study he has now made of the representations made to him by a deputation of local representatives regarding the proposed transmitter mast at East Harptree near Bristol Lulsgate Airport and the danger of causing interference with the use and development of this airport; and in view of the fact that a suitable site is available at Longwell Green which has been approved by the defence and civil aviation side of his department, if he will now have further discussions with the British Broadcasting Corporation regarding the erection of this mast.

Mr. Marten

My Department has informed the B.B.C. that it would raise no objection to the erection of this mast at Longwell Green. It is not at present known whether the Corporation can find a suitable site for the mast there.
