HC Deb 01 April 1976 vol 908 c557W
Mr. Geraint Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) approximately when it is expected that a UHF television station will be established to serve the general area of Llangollen and the Ceiriog Valley, Clwyd;

(2) approximately when it is expected that a UHF television station will be established to serve the general area of Corwen, Clwyd.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

The BBC tells us that it hopes to commission a UHF relay station to serve the Corwen area by late 1978 or early 1979 and that a station to serve the Llangollen area, which will be dependent on the Corwen station for its programme feeds, would be open shortly thereafter. There are no firm plans for providing relay stations in the Ceiriog Valley, but the feasibility of establishing a station to serve the Glyn-Ceiriog area is being examined. It is too early to say if or when such a station could be provided.
