§ Mr. William Edwardsasked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications whether he will take steps to improve the transmission of B.B.C. 4 so that all licence holders in Merioneth can receive B.B.C. 4 on portable radio sets.
§ Mr. PentlandNo. It is technically impossible. Reception requires the use of efficient sets and aerials and the efficiency of portable radio sets varies so widely that they will not provide satisfactory reception in all circumstances.
