HC Deb 23 July 1965 vol 716 c275W
Mr. Morgan

asked the Postmaster-General why the date of commencement of broadcasting the B.B.C. 2 television service to North Wales from the Llanddona transmitter has been put back from January, 1966, the date originally promised, until the autumn of that year.

Mr. Benn

This is a matter for the B.B.C. It tells me that it had hoped originally to start broadcasting B.B.C. 2 from the Llanddona transmitter in the summer of 1966; but that the date has gone back to the autumn. It asks me to point out that this station is part of a large programme of construction and, as the work proceeds, some adjustments of this kind are inevitable.
