§ Mr. Neubertasked the Minister of Transport what estimate he makes of the number of motor cycles not fitted with electrical suppressors; what are their principal countries of manufacture; and if he will take steps to prohibit the use of motor cycles causing electrical interference to television sets and car radios.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeAll motor cycles now sold must be fitted with suitable suppression equipment, and I have no evidence to suggest that motor cycle manufacturers either here or abroad are not doing this. However, it is clear that some motor cycles in use are causing serious interference. This seems to be the result of modifications carried out after purchase, and I am considering what action can be taken to deal with this problem in conjunction with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department.
