§ 73. Captain PLUGGEasked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the effect on television sets of radio interference from petrol engines using electrical contrivances; and whether he will consider the introduction of legislation making it compulsory for electric gear of any kind to be fitted with the necessary radio noise-suppressors?
§ Sir W. WOMERSLEYI am aware of the liability to interference with television reception from the source mentioned by my hon. and gallant Friend. As I informed my hon. Friend the Member for Sunderland (Mr. Storey) on 30th November last, a committee appointed by the Institution of Electrical Engineers has recently investigated the subject and has recommended that statutory powers should be sought. The committee's recommendations are at present under consideration.
