§ Mr. Morganasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the poor state of television reception in the area of of Llandegla, Clwyd, he will take measures for its improvement.
§ Mr. RaisonThe current phase of the transmitter programme, which is designed to extend coverage to all communities with a population of about 500 or more, should be completed by about 1984. The BBC and IBA hope then to devote their resources to a further phase; but communities of fewer than 200 people, such as the Llandegla area, are unlikely to benefit. Part of the village of Llandegla does receive a marginal service from the Moel-y-Parc transmitter and I am writing to my hon. Friend about the possibility of a self-help scheme for the area.
