HC Deb 01 February 1965 vol 705 c234W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Postmaster-General what steps he is taking to ensure that people who live in Wales have proper reception of Welsh television and radio services.

Mr. Joseph Slater

Improvements in the quality of the reception of Welsh telesion and sound radio services are matters for the broadcasting authorities concerned in the first place.

Stage 4 of the B.B.C.'s plan to extend the coverage and improve the reception of their services provides for new stations at Cardigan, Dolgellau, Llangollen and Llanidloes; and the Corporation are considering a further stage. The I.T.A.'s second transmitter at St. Hilary, which is intended to broadcast a Welsh edition of independent television, is expected to come into regular service soon.
