Wireless Relay Stations (Licence)

44.

Mr. Charles Grey
asked the Assistant Postmaster-General when a licence was issued to a private firm to erect a receiver for Continental programmes at Sully, Glamorgan; and if he will allow a similar application for the Pontop Pike area.

The Assistant Postmaster-General (Mr. David Gammans)
A company called  "Rediffusion (Wales) Ltd." has applied for a licence to receive sound broadcast programmes at the proposed station at Sully, Glamorgan, and a licence will be granted when the station is ready. Another application has been received from Rediffusion (North East) Ltd. for a similar receiving station at Heddon Law near Newcastle, and the Postmaster-General will favourably consider the grant of a licence when all the necessary consents have been obtained.

Mr. Peter Freeman
Is this receiving station on the island of Sully, or on the mainland?

Mr. Gammans
I understand that it is on the mainland.
