HC Deb 28 March 1974 vol 871 cc164-5W
27. Mr. Paul Dean

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has yet received the Crawford Report on Broadcasting; and what steps he proposes to take to improve television reception in the north Somerset area, in particular of English rather than Welsh programmes.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

The answer to the first part of the Question is "No". Improvements in television reception are primarily the responsibility of the BBC and IBA, but my right hon. Friend will consider any recommendations which the Crawford Committee may make for changes in the broadcasting authorities' present plans.

Mr. Whitehead

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to receive the report of the Crawford Committee on Broadcasting Coverage.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

During the summer.
