HC Deb 05 May 1976 vol 910 c382W
Mr. Blaker

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what progress has now been made with providing British television programmes for British Service men and their families in Germany.

Mr. Robert C. Brown

The London Control Centre has been completed, and it is envisaged that by the end of June British television will be available to Service men and their families in Celle, Hohne, Munsterlager, Fallinghostel and Soltau. It is planned to extend coverage progressively so that by the end of 1977 the service should be available to about 90,000 Service men and their families, and by the end of 1978 to 168,000 Service men and their families.
