B.B.C. 2 Transmissions (Cornwall)

HC Deb 23 March 1967 vol 743 cc339-40W

Mr. Pardoe

asked the Postmaster-General when B.B.C. 2 transmissions will be received in Cornwall.

Mr. Joseph Slater

The extension of the coverage attained by B.B.C. 2 is pri- marily the responsibility of the Corporation. They tell me, however, that they plan to bring into service a B.B.C. 2 station at Caradon Hill in East Cornwall by the end of 1968. This station will serve a large part of the hon. Member's constituency and indeed a large part of Cornwall.
