§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications if, in view of the fact that 31 per cent. of those who are unable to receive either 102W sound or television programmes live in Wales, he will set up a departmental inquiry to study this problem in the Principality and to make recommendations.
§ Mr. ChatawayThe figure of 31 per cent. in my answer on 30th April to the hon. Member did not apply to radio reception but only to television. An enquiry would not serve any useful purpose.
§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications how many of the 80,000 persons in Wales who are unable to receive radio or television programmes live in Cardiganshire.
§ Mr. ChatawayVirtually everyone in Wales has the possibility of receiving the B.B.C. on radio. Of those in Wales outside the coverage area of B.B.C.'s television transmissions, some 14,500 live in Cardiganshire.
