Statement by Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell regarding the Digital Switchover Help Scheme

4 May 2007

 

"The help scheme will help elderly and disabled people switch to digital. It will enable them to enjoy all the benefits, such as greater choice, that digital TV brings.

 "The agreement we have signed with the BBC Trust means the BBC will now take responsibility for delivering the help scheme. We will continue to work closely with the BBC on the successful delivery to ensure the scheme works for the people who need it."

The full Help Scheme agreement is available on the Digital tv website
