Mr. Beith
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on what basis and to what extent the Government of the Irish Republic are being asked to contribute to the revenue of the BBC if they are permitted to proceed with their policy of rebroadcasting BBCI throughout the Republic by 1976.
Mr. Alexander W. Lyon
If negotiations for the rebroadcasting of a BBC television channel in the Irish Republic are successful a contribution to the revenue of the BBC will be involved. The basis for and size of the contribution are matters for negotiation.
