HC Deb 23 November 1994 vol 250 c180W
Mr. Key

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if he will make a statement on the allocation of digital terrestrial frequencies.

Mr. Dorrell

The Trade and Technology Minister announced on 19 January 1994 that the Government had decided to make available the frequency band 217.5 MHz to 230 MHz for potential terrestrial digital audio broadcasting services in the United Kingdom.

My predecessor announced on 14 July 1994 that it was the Government's intention that spectrum, including channel 35, would be made available for digital terrestrial television.
