Any links to the actual wording of the legislation Andy? I'm aware of
the exemption for two way radio, but I've never seen the actual wording
and wasn't aware of the frequency limitations.
The DfT guideline documents I found on their website are the usual
nonsense, presuming that a mobile telephone is not a two way radio, and
are useful only to indicate where useful cuts in civil service staffing
could be made. :-)
