§ Mr. Welshasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many pirate commercial radio stations at present operate off the coasts of the United Kingdom; and to what extent they present a hazard to maritime communications frequencies.
§ Mr. Alexander W. LyonThere is one such station. Pirate stations operating outside the internationally agreed regulations constitute a potential hazard, but no interference to maritime communications by the present station has come to our notice.
