I already have certain powers under the Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1926, as amended by the Broadcasting Authority Act, 1960, to deal with radio and television interference; and statutory regulations now apply to interference from small electric motors. For the present at any rate, I do not consider it necessary to introduce further legislation.
On the general question of what action is being taken to reduce the level of interference, I would refer the Deputy to the reply I gave on 26th January, 1966, to a question by Deputy Briscoe.
