asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the deterioration in the reception of the Light Programme in the area of Bishop's Stortford and environs; and what steps are proposed to be taken to ameliorate this situation.

I understand from the B.B.C. that reception of the Light Programme on the medium wave (247 metres), is liable to fading, but that reception of the same programme on the long wave (1,500 metres) should be perfectly satisfactory.
