HC Deb 25 March 1969 vol 780 c242W
76. Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he is aware that a television transmission mast collapsed recently at Emley Moor, causing damage to occupied houses and to the occupied Methodist Chapel; and if he will issue a circular to local planning authorities advising them on the safety factors involved in the siting of television masts.

Mr. K. Robinson

An independent commission of inquiry has been set up to establish the facts of this accident, and when the results are available I will consider the need for further technical guidance.
