Lord MANCROFT

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What progress has been made in the extension of British television to those areas of Germany where British Forces are stationed.

Lord WINTERBOTTOM

The full service giving live transmission of television programmes to well over 150,000 Servicemen and their dependants in Germany will be in operation by 1980. In the meanwhile, video-taped programmes are being transmitted over completed parts of the network, with new sections being phased in as they are built.
