Captain A. EVANSasked the Postmaster-General if his Department has been able to persuade users of electrical equipment and appliances to take suitable steps to prevent unnecessary interference with wireless reception, or whether he contemplates introducing legislation to give effective legal authority to enforce the recommendation of the Post Office engineers dealing with such interference?
§ Sir E. BENNETTIn the majority of cases owners of electrical apparatus which causes interference with wireless reception are willing to fit remedial devices when their attention is called to the need for such action. The whole subject is at present under consideration by a committee appointed by the Institution of Electrical Engineers, on which the British Broadcasting Corporation and the Post Office are represented, in addition to the electrical and wireless interests concerned. The question whether there is any need for legislation will be considered when the committee's report is received.
