§ Mr. Hoosonasked the Postmaster-General what plans he has to ensure that an ultra high frequency station is set up at Newtown, Montgomeryshire, with the development of the new town.
§ Mr. StonehouseThe responsibility for extending their services falls on the broadcasting authorities. Their plans include a high power ultra high frequency station in Shropshire which is intended to provide coverage for Newtown. It was hoped that transmissions of B.B.C. 2 programmes from this station would start around 1970 and of the other programmes some two or so years later; but the site proposed is the subject of a public 187W planning inquiry and until its outcome is known, no firm opening date can be given.
