§ 88. Mr. C. Hughesasked the Postmaster-General what steps he is taking to safeguard the transmission of television programmes in the Welsh language between the hours of 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonThis is a matter for the broadcasting authorities. However. I can add that to make it easier for them to arrange programmes in the Welsh language it has been agreed that 189W under the new rules on television broadcasting hours the programmes will not count towards the normal maximum hours of fifty a week or eight on any one day. Also, in addition to any that may be given in normal broadcasting hours, Welsh language programmes may be broadcast on Sundays in the periods 12 noon to 2 p.m., and 6.15 p.m. to 7.25 p.m.
