§ Mr. Terlezkiasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if Her Majesty's Government will take steps to introduce a fifth television channel for family viewing.
§ Mr. HurdAn additional five television channels will be possible by means of direct broadcasting by satellite. The BBC and the IBA will both be able to provide new services, whose nature is under discussion. It is unlikely that a fifth channel could be added to those available from terrestial transmitters.
