HC Deb 21 November 1951 vol 494 cc361-2
16. Mr. T. W. Jones

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he has considered with the British Broadcasting Corporation what steps will be necessary to give television coverage to the county of Merioneth; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gammans

Even if it had been possible to complete the B.B.C.'s original plan for giving a reliable television service to about 80 per cent of the population, Merioneth would not have been covered. Fortunately, the B.B.C. has had reports that the Sutton Coldfield Station is being satisfactorily received in parts of the county of Merioneth.
