§ 56. Mr. MANDERasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the nuisance caused to residents in certain areas owing to the noise made by trolley omnibuses, in particular in connection with the reception of broadcasting; and what steps can be taken to remedy this state of affairs?
§ The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Graham White)Complaints are sometimes made of interference with broadcast reception caused by the working of trolley omnibuses. These cases are investigated by the Post Office, in co-operation with the British Broadcasting Corporation, and where possible a remedy is suggested. The Post Office has no statutory power to enforce a remedy, but it does its best to persuade the parties concerned to adopt suitable measures. If my hon. Friend has a particular case in mind and will furnish me with particulars, I shall be glad to have it investigated.
