HC Deb 20 November 1981 vol 13 cc246-7W
Mr. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in view of the introduction of a legalised citizens band radio channel, whether he is taking any steps to discourage the sale and use of illegal equipment.

Mr. Raison

Proceedings will continue to be brought under the present statutory provisions against users of equipment which does not comply with the relevant technical specification. We hope that, when parliamentary time permits, it will be possible to introduce legislation under which the sale of such equipment would be prohibited.
