§ Mr. Geraint Howellsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is satisfied with the state of television reception in Wales; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Alexander W. LyonTelevision reception in Wales is a matter for the BBC and IBA. I am satisfied that the duplication of VHF by UHF signals, and the extension of coverage to those who do not now have it, are going ahead as fast as resources will allow. I am told that when phase I of the UHF programme is complete in 1979 coverage will extend to over 95 per cent. in Wales.
