Wales written question – answered at on 13 May 2009.
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what steps have been taken to ensure that Wales is ready for the digital switchover.
Wales is well prepared for the digital switchover which starts in Swansea in August 2009 and completes by the end March 2010. Digital UK, the independent non-profit organisation will issue a 100-day countdown.
As part of Digital UK's national information campaign, leaflets explaining switchover and the options available for going digital will be sent to every home in Wales, backed up by both national and local radio and television advertising.
Letters will also be sent to every household for people aged 75 or over, registered blind or partially sighted, on disability benefits or living in a care home for six months or more. Stakeholder meetings and roadshows across Wales have also been held.
