HC Deb 22 June 1966 vol 730 cc88-9W
97. Mr. Varley

asked the Postmaster-General what action will be taken to eliminate the interference from foreign stations on television reception within the Parliamentary constituency of Chesterfield and elsewhere in the north Midlands area.

Mr. Joseph Slater

The problem of interference to television reception from continental stations at times during the summer months is a general one to which there is no short-term answer. The B.B.C. tells me that reception from its station at Holme Moss is generally satisfactory in the north Midlands, but is subject at times to this type of interference. Reception of a weaker signal from Sutton Coldfield is also possible in the area, and is less affected by such interference.
