HC Deb 01 August 1980 vol 989 cc867-8W
Mr. Viggers

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take further action to curb the illegal use of citizens band radio, in view of the problems caused to radio controlled aircraft and the possible risk caused thereby.

Mr. Raison

We are most concerned about the problems which these illicit transmissions cause to authorised users of radio, including the operators of model controlled aircraft. Within the limits of available resources, my Department is already making every effort to curb this illegal activity and will continue to do so. In addition, we are considering the provision of increased powers for the enforcement of the law in respect of these offences.
