§ Mr. Roger KingTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on the recent 18-nation talks in Prague held to discuss radio frequencies for car alarms.
§ Mr. RedwoodMy officials are not aware of any major international talks held recently in Prague to discuss car alarms.
There was a meeting of the CEPT—conference of European posts and telecommunications administrations —frequency management working group held in Prague on 21 to 25 October and, of the 32 CEPT member countries, 18 were present at this meeting. However, while the meeting discussed such items as harmonisation of radio frequencies for low-power devices and frequencies for an automotive radiolocation system, radio car alarms were not specifically covered.
