Mr. Driberg
asked the Postmaster-General what steps he has taken to investigate complaints of interference with television in the Coggeshall Road and Newtown area of Kelvedon, Essex; if he is aware that a number of residents have complained that the interference is unabated; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Ness Edwards
Investigations have shown that the interference is due to nearby high voltage electricity supply lines, and the electricity board concerned is doing what it can to minimise the trouble. Interference with television reception from nearby high voltage electricity supply lines, due to weather conditions and variations in the load carried, is a general problem to which no complete solution has yet been found.
