asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will notify the authorities to whom he has sent his Circular 23/68 that they can obtain expert advice on problems connected with microwave links from the Institution of Radio and Electronic Engineers.

I understand that the Institution of Electronic and Radio Engineers would be willing to recommend suitable experts on radio communications to advise local authorities. The Institution of Electrical Engineers have expressed similar willingness. This information will be conveyed to the appropriate associations of local authorities.
