Television (Fourth Channel)

HC Deb 19 November 1976 vol 919 cc755-6W

Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he agrees with the findings of the Crawford Report on the fourth television channel; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

My predecessor indicated in the statement he made on 21st November 1974—[Vol. 881, c. 475]—that the Government accepted in principle the Crawford Committee recommendation on the use of the fourth television channel in Wales. I have nothing further to add to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member's Question on 16th November. —[Vol. 919, c. 448.]
