HC Deb 17 May 1972 vol 837 c117W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications what is the number of ultra high frequency booster stations which he expects to be built in Wales in 1973 and 1974, respectively.

Sir J. Eden

The BBC tells me that during 1973 it hopes to start transmissions of BBC Wales and BBC2 from seven UHF relay stations and BBC Wales from three others. The ITA hopes to start transmissions of ITV—Harlech, Welsh version—from 12 stations. Neither the BBC nor the ITA is yet in a position to announce its plans for opening UHF relay stations in Wales during 1974.
