HC Deb 29 October 1952 vol 505 c220W
74. Mr. J. J. Astor

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether, in view of the comparatively small cost of erecting a temporary television booster station, he will allow the construction of the station at Princetown, which was to have priority in the west, and would enable South Devon, Plymouth and a large part of Cornwall to see the Coronation.

Mr. Gammans

I am informed that other considerations apart, satisfactory service in the areas quoted could not be given by a booster station near Prince-town, because of its very limited range.
