HC Deb 09 February 1967 vol 740 c344W
40. Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Postmaster-General if he will remove the compulsory Morse test from the "A" Licensing condition for amateur radio transmission.

Mr. Edward Short

No. We have an obligation under the International Radio Regulations to require applicants for the "A" licence to pass a Morse test, but I am prepared to consider how the licence conditions might be made less burdensome.
