§ Mr. Morganasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the poor state of television reception in the area of Llanarmon Dyffryn, Ceiriog and Tregeiriog, Clwyd, as the result of which local viewers are unable to receive Welsh language programmes, he will take steps with a view to improving the situation locally.
§ Mr. RaisonThe areas to which my hon. Friend refers are not served by existing transmitters, and the small size of the population concerned means that they will not be provided with a transmitter under phase III of the UHF engineering programme. However, an application for a licence to set up a self-help transmitter to serve these areas is currently being processed by the Home Office.
