HC Deb 06 May 1975 vol 891 c411W
Mr. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that the installation of a television booster designed to improve reception in the area of Llangollen, Clwyd, North Wales, which was promised for January 1975, has been deferred for a period of at least two years; and whether he will now ensure that this decision is reviewed so that the installation of the booster may be expedited and television reception in the area generally improved.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

The broad-casting authorities, who are primarily responsible for the extension of their services, tell us that it is likely that a UHF relay station will be provided specifically to serve the Llangollen area, but that their plans are not yet sufficiently advanced to enable any forecast to be made of when the station might open. We have not been able to trace any under-taking about an opening date.
