§ Mr. Gregor Mackenzieasked the Postmaster-General when the British Broadcasting Corporation now hope to make B.B.C.2 available to Scottish viewers.
§ Mr. BennThe extension of B.B.C.2 coverage is a matter in the first place for the B.B.C. The Corporation had hoped to open the first of their main U.H.F. stations to serve Scotland, at Black Hill, this month, but because of delays due to bad weather the completion date has gone back to the spring. This station will serve central Scotland, including Glasgow and part of Edinburgh. A second station is exepected to open at Durris towards the end of next year or soon afterwards to serve North-East Scotland. Further stations are being planned to extend B.B.C.2 to the rest of Scotland, but it is too early to say when the additional stations are likely to open.
