HC Deb 05 November 1979 vol 973 c9W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of the consequent interference to television reception over a wide area, he will introduce legislation to prohibit oil rig platforms from lying offshore in coastal waters for long periods after overhaul.

Mr. Brittan

The BBC and IBA tell me that they are not aware of any television reception problems arising from this source. If my hon. Friend will send me details of any complaints he has received, I will arrange for them to be investigated.
