HC Deb 22 February 1979 vol 963 cc245-6W
21. Mr. Hal Miller

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what new proposals he has received for improving the reception of British Broadcasting Corporation Radio Birmingham.

Dr. Summerskill

The BBC is carrying out tests to ascertain whether the relocation of the BBC Radio Birmingham trans- missions would offer scope for resolving the current coverage problems.

The BBC will need to evaluate the results of the tests and to discuss their findings in the forum of the Home Office local radio working party.
