§ 50. Mr. Hoosonasked the Postmaster-General what areas of Wales are still unable to receive B.B.C.1 programmes; and what steps have been taken to remedy the matter.
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterB.B.C.1 is available to 83 per cent., and the separate transmission for Welsh viewers, B.B.C. Wales, to 69 per cent. of the population. The B.B.C. tell me that their plans provide for a farther extension to B.B.C. Wales bringing its population coverage to over 75 per cent. and the total coverage of the two services together to 97 per cent. by 1970. The area not now covered is mainly in Merionethshire and Montgomeryshire.
