Radio Carlisle

HC Deb 21 November 1972 vol 846 cc384-5W

Mr. Ron Lewis

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunication on what day he expects the first broadcast from Radio Carlisle: and if he will make a statement.

Sir J. Eden

The BBC, which is primarily responsible for the extension of its services, tells me that it hopes to open Radio Carlisle in the autumn of 1973.
