HC Deb 19 January 1970 vol 794 c68W
Mr. Edelman

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications if he will now use his powers under Section 14(4) of the Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1949, to proceed against The Times newspaper for unauthorised use of a radio receiver for the purpose of receiving communications from an individual using a private transmitter.

Mr. Stonehouse

Section 14(4) of the Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1949, ceased to have effect on 1st October, 1969. I am not prepared to comment on this matter until the present police inquiry has been concluded.
