HC Deb 01 December 1986 vol 106 cc431-2W
Mr. Wilkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, in the light of the continued interference to the radio, television and telephone reception of the residents in Tudor Close, Eastcote, Middlesex from an amateur radio transmitter in the neighbourhood, he will now use his powers permanently to revoke the licence of this amateur radio transmitter.

Mr. Butcher

Reports of further reception problems in the locality have been received recently and are being investigated by the Department's radio investigation service. However, the amateur radio station in question still remains closed down pending the outcome of licence variation proceedings. I am now awaiting the results of index and by growth rate for Japan, the United States of America and the European Community as a whole for every year since 1970, including estimates for 1986.

Mr. Alan Clark

Data for the European Community as a whole in 1986 are not readily available. The other information is in the following table.

exhaustive tests on the station that have been conducted by the radio investigation service jointly with representatives of the radio amateur concerned. When the report on these tests have been received and assessed a decision will be made as to what restrictions, if any, need to be applied to the amateur's licence.
