asked the Postmaster-General what consultations he proposes to have with other Western European countries about the proposed operation of two new pirate radio stations, Radio England and Britain Radio, on transmitters with a joint power of 110,000 watts.

This country has already taken part in discussions with the other member nations of the Council of Europe about the best method of preventing broadcasting from the high seas. These discussions resulted in the European Agreement which the United Kingdom signed last year. Further consultations are not in prospect.
