asked the Postmaster-General whether he will make a statement concerning the use of unlicensed walkie-talkies on channels in the 27 megacycles citizens band.

There is no "citizens band" in this country and no walkie-talkies have been licensed to operate in the 27 megacycle band because they are liable to interfere with authorised services in this and in other bands. There have been several prosecutions recently for unlicensed use of walkie-talkie apparatus; and dealers who advertise the apparatus are told that licences to use it in this country are not available.
