§ Mr. St. John-Stevasasked the Postmaster-General what steps he is taking to ensure that all cars are properly fitted with suppressors to prevent interference with television viewing in the home.
§ Mr. BennThe Wireless Telegraphy (Control of Interference from Ignition Apparatus) Regulations 1952 require all new motor vehicles sold for use in the United Kingdom since 1st July, 1953, to be fitted with suppressors to prevent ignition interference to television reception. A representative sample of all cars manufactured or imported for use in this country is examined by the Post Office to ensure so far as is possible that the Regulations are complied with. Though the Regulations do not apply to cars manufactured before 1st July, 1953, their numbers are, of course, constantly diminishing.
