§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will arrange for a copy of the guidelines issued by broadcasting organisations in the Republic of Ireland arising from the non-renewal of section 31 of the Irish Broadcasting Act 1960 to be placed in the Library; and how many households in Northern Ireland he estimates are able to receive television and radio broadcasts originating from the Irish Republic.
§ Sir Patrick MayhewIt is not considered appropriate to place a copy of the guidelines in the Library. It is estimated that approximately 20,000 television sets can receive signals from the Republic in Northern Ireland; radio signals can be received in any interference-free area in Northern Ireland.
