HC Deb 20 February 1976 vol 905 c839W
Mr. Tom King

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in the light of the Siberry Report on a fourth television service in Wales, he has any further proposals to make to alleviate the problem of the reception of Welsh programmes by Somerset viewers on UHF.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

Not at present, I am afraid. I am well aware of the problem; but, as I indicated in the reply I gave to a Question from my right hon. Friend the Member for Anglesey (Mr. Hughes) on 19th February—[Vol. 905, c.788]—the Government attach higher priority for available resources to the extension of UHF—625-line and colour —coverage to those who do not have it, and to those areas throughout the country which still have to depend on VHF—405-line and monochrome—services.
