§ 26. Mr. Simon ThomasTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will make a statement on digital television broadcasting in Wales. [119899]
§ Mr. Chris SmithThe Government will ensure that all viewers in Wales who presently receive analogue television will be able to receive the main free-to-air channels digitally, before the analogue transmissions are fully switched to digital. Digital television has extended choice to Welsh viewers by enabling S4C and Channel 4 to be broadcast as separate digital services in Wales.
