§ Mr. G. Robertsasked the Postmaster-General when Teledu Cymry will begin commercial television broadcasting in Wales; what areas of the Principality will be served by it; and approximately how many viewers will receive it.
§ Mr. BevinsThe I.T.A. tells me that the company will begin broadcasting in the middle of September this year, covering an area west of the line from Port Talbot in the South to Barmouth in the North. The population in this area is 595,000, some 15,000 of whom will also be within reach of the Lleyn station which will open later this year. The Lleyn station will cover most of Caernarvonshire and Anglesey, a population of 143,000. Finally the Moel-y-Parc station will open at the end of this year or early next year. It will cover Flint and Denbighshire with a population of 334,000.
