§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what action his Department has taken on the complaint of interference by citizens band radio in Maryer Road, SE7, brought to his attention by the hon. Member for Woolwich on 14 January; and when he expects to be able to resolve the matter.
§ Mr. Butcher[pursuant to the reply, 8 March 1985]: I told the hon. Member in my letter of 28 January that the radio investigation service has been asked to investigate the case. It is doing so and has identified a possible source of interference. As I promised I shall write again when the RIS has completed its work on the case.
The hon. Member will appreciate that, particularly in London, the RIS has a heavy case load and has to give priority to dealing with radio interference which endangers life and the viable operation of business and essential services.
