§ 51. Mrs. Joyce Butlerasked the Postmaster-General what research has been undertaken by his Department into possible health dangers to viewers of colour television; and what arrangements he is making to keep this matter under review.
§ Mr. Edward ShortMy Department participated in the work done by the British Standards Institution which has issued British Standard No. 415 "Safety Requirements for Mains Operated Domestic Sound and Vision Equipment". This standard, with which television sets of British manufacture comply, secures that radiation from them does not exceed the limit recommended by the International Commission for Radiological Protection. I do not think a review is called for now.
