§ Mr. WallerTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what changes he proposes to the service which the Radiocommunications Agency provides to investigate interference to domestic television and radio reception. [12543]
§ Mr. Ian TaylorThe agency currently charges £40 to visit householders to diagnose reception difficulties. This charge will be increased to £45 with effect from 1 April 1997 and will help to ensure that the agency does not undercut the private sector for this type of work. The agency continues to provide a free service to check specific sources of interference to television and radio reception in accordance with it regulatory duties.
