HC Deb 03 November 1965 vol 718 c186W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Postmaster-General what steps are being taken to give the South-West coverage of B.B.C. 2; and when the South-West can expect this service.

Mr. Joseph Slater

The extension of B.B.C. 2 coverage is a matter, in the first place, for the B.B.C. The Corporation tell me that its station already in service in South Wales brings B.B.C. 2 to some viewers in the Bristol Channel area; but that, though further stations are being planned to extend the coverage of B.B.C. 2 in the South-West, it is too early to say when these additional stations are likely to open.
