§ 31. Mr. Brewisasked the Postmaster-General what action he is taking to improve television reception in Galloway.
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterThe hon. Gentleman raised this on the Adjournment on 19th July last and I told the House why TV coverage in Galloway could not be further extended. The hon. Gentleman made some proposals during the debate I had these carefully examined by the B.B.C. and the Post Office, but, as I told him in a letter, I am afraid they proved impracticable.
However, my right hon. Friend is reexamining the whole question of TV reception in sparsely populated hilly areas to see whether any new approach to this problem is possible.—[Vol. 750, c. 2087.]
