HC Deb 17 December 1952 vol 509 c196W
62. Mr. Lambert

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General to give an assurance that the permanent broadcasting station at Fremington, near Barnstaple, will be completed before the Coronation.

Mr. Gammans

The B.B.C. inform me that the final transmitter unit, which will enable the permanent station to work at its full designed power, is not expected to be ready until after the Coronation; the station is, however, already nearly fully effective, and most of the listeners for whom it is intended are already enjoying satisfactory reception.
