HC Deb 28 April 1999 vol 330 c139W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what percentage of the land area of urban England is cabled. [82151]

I understand from the Independent Television Commission that over 53 per cent. of all homes in England now have cable available to them. This represents 57 per cent. of homes in urban England.
