asked the Postmaster-General why no map is available for publication of the 73 Post Office communication towers erected or proposed which are in excess of 100 feet in height; and if he will issue such a map for study by local authorities and organisations concerned with the preservation of rural amenities.

My hon. Friend the Assistant Postmaster-General wrote to my hon. Friend explaining why publication of a map is not feasible. The fullest discussion takes place with local authorities and amenity bodies about individual towers and a comprehensive map is not needed for that purpose. I am writing further to my hon. Friend.
