HC Deb 24 January 1995 vol 253 c115W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what steps are open to areas where television reception is(a) poor and (b) non-existent; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dorrell

The first step is for such communities to notify the engineering department of the BBC or Independent Television Commission so that these bodies are aware of the situation. They jointly build about 25 new television relay transmitters each year. It is also open to communities to install their own television relay system at their own expense under the self-help television system.
