§ Mr. Beithasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is satisfied that there is adequate television reception in Holystone and nearby areas of Upper Coquetdale, Northumberland.
§ Mr. JohnI understand that the broadcasting authorities appreciate that television reception in Holystone and Upper Coquetdale may be indifferent because of screening by the local terrain. The BBC tells me that, whilst there are no plans to serve the Upper Coquetdale Valley, Holystone may benefit from the proposed Rothbury relay station which it is hoped will be commissioned during the current UHF station building programme expected to be completed by 1979.
