HC Deb 21 October 1953 vol 518 c260W
Mr. Mitchison

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether he is aware that some television sets cause interference with the reception of sound broadcasts; and what steps he proposes to take, by way of promoting legislation or otherwise, to control the manufacture of television sets, so that purchasers may not find themselves unable to use them without breach of a condition of their receiving licences.

Mr. Gammans

I am aware of this difficulty, but I do not think we need power to control manufacture of television sets. Radio manufacturers are fully alive to the problem and I am confident that, in their own interests, they will produce sets that meet the licence conditions.
