§ Mr. Alan Williamsasked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications what estimate he has made of the proportion 434W of the population of Swansea which will be able to receive British Broadcasting Corporation television programmes other than B.B.C.2 and B.B.C. Wales when the 405 line service ceases to be available.
§ Mr. ChatawayI have made no estimate. Any coverage of Wales attained by the B.B.C.1 625-line service will be fortuitous and not planned.
§ Mr. Alan Williamsasked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications when he now expects 405 line British Broadcasting Corporation television transmission to cease to be available in Wales.
§ Mr. ChatawayI have not considered any plans for closing down the 405-line services on V.H.F. They will continue so long as they are fulfilling a reasonable need.
