HC Deb 16 February 1967 vol 741 c789
33. Mr. John Hall

asked the Postmaster-General what further action he has taken to discourage the sale of walkie-talkie sets for which licences are unlikely to be issued.

Mr. Edward Short

I have recently issued Press and broadcast notices to warn the public against buying the sets which the hon. Gentleman has in mind. I hope also in the near future to ask the House to give me powers to control the import of these sets.

Mr. Hall

Will the right hon. Gentleman take it that that reply gives great satisfaction and I am glad to know that he is taking responsibility for prohibiting the import of these sets?
