§ 79. Mr. William Palingasked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he is aware of complaints of interference caused by television receivers to the reception of sound broadcasting; and if he will take steps to make it an offence for manufacturers to market television sets which cause such interference.
§ Mr. GammansI am aware of the complaints but my noble Friend has no powers under which he could make it an offence for manufacturers to market television sets which cause interference. I understand that manufacturers are voluntarily modifying their designs to reduce the risk of such interference being caused.
