HC Deb 15 March 1978 vol 946 c198W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has any plans to improve television reception in Wales during the year; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

The continued extension of UHF television services is primarily a matter for the broadcasting authorities which tell me they plan to bring a further nine stations into service in Wales this year. It is estimated that the UHF services will by then be available to about 94 per cent. of the population of Wales.
