HC Deb 06 March 1939 vol 344 c1763W
Mr. W. R. Duckworth

asked the Postmaster-General whether he can now make any statement as to whether it is intended to introduce legislation dealing with broadcasting and electrical interference during the current Session?

Sir W. Womersley

Inquiries regarding the possible scope and operation of a new Wireless Telegraphy Bill to deal, inter alia, with the question of electrical interference with wireless reception are being actively pursued. The problem is, however, one of great complexity, involving consultation with many commercial and other interests which would be affected; and I regret that I cannot give any assurance that it will be possible to introduce a Bill during the current Session.
