HC Deb 10 August 1966 vol 733 c341W
84. Mr. Rhodes

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the retail distribution of miniature frequency modulation wireless transmitters in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and other parts of of the United Kingdom; whether he will refuse the granting of licences for the use of such equipment; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Edward Short

I am aware that small radio transmitters are offered for sale in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and elsewhere which are not suitable for any purpose for which I should be prepared to grant a licence. Anyone found using these devices is of course liable to prosecution.
