HC Deb 25 July 1968 vol 769 c157W
29. Mr. Tudor Watkins

asked the Postmaster General whether he has considered the representations that have been made to him for a better reception service for the British Broadcasting Corporation television services in Mid-Wales; and what progress there has been with surveys, particularly for a B.B.C.2 service.

Mr. Joseph Slater

Yes. The survey is not yet complete. It relates particularly to B.B.C.l which has attained nearly 100 per cent. population coverage in the United Kingdom. The development of the U.H.F. network to transmit B.B.C.2 has not yet reached the stage when plans to extend it into mid-Wales can be formulated.
