§ Mr. Freudasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many complaints have been received by his Department in respect of faulty reception of FM citizens band radio caused by illegal use of the AM wave band.
§ Mr. RaisonWe regret that this information is not available since no statistical record is kept of complaints of interference to the licensed citizens band radio service.
§ Mr. Freudasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many licences for citizens band radio have been issued to date; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RaisonBy 31 December, 106, 408 citizens band licences had been issued. It appears that the authorised system has been generally well received. The rate at which complaints of interference from illegal citizens band transmissions are received is falling.
