HC Deb 17 December 1952 vol 509 c193W
8. Brigadier Clarke

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty to make the necessary technical modifications on H.M.S. "Surprise" or other suitable ship to enable television transmission from ship to shore of the Coronation Naval Review.

Mr. J. P. L. Thomas

I understand that the British Broadcasting Corporation is interested in this possibility, but it is too early to say whether arrangements will be made for televising the Coronation Naval Review. If the Review is to be televised, there would be no great difficulty in making the necessary modifications to one of Her Majesty's ships to provide a temporary radio link to the shore.
