Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that some 300 pirate radio stations operating on long and medium wavelengths outside the Copenhagen Plan exist at the present time in the European area; and what steps have been taken by him to suggest that the countries concerned should take similar action to that now proposed by him to suppress stations operating in their territories which do not conform to the Copenhagen Plan.
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterThere are many stations, mostly of low power, which436W are not provided for in the Copenhagen Plan. But they are not pirate stations; they operate under licences from their Governments, who are responsible to one another for avoiding interference between stations.
