§ 71. Mr. du Cannasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that substantial inconvenience is caused to large numbers of householders living alongside main roads whose radio and television reception suffers interference from motor vehicles of all descriptions to which suppressors have not been fitted; and what action he proposes to mitigate this nuisance.
§ Mr. BevinsThere are Regulations requiring suppressors to be fitted to all motor vehicles manufactured or imported since 1st July, 1953, and the interference to which my hon. Friend refers is therefore steadily diminishing. It is most troublesome in places where the television signal is not strong and can often be overcome by using a more efficient or re-sited aerial. My engineers are always glad to advise in these cases.
