§ Mr. Chapmanasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many licences have been granted for cellular radio base stations under the Telecommunications Act 1984; and how many of these are in the vicinity of the M25 motorway.
§ Mr. Butcher[pursuant to the reply, 30 January 1985, c. 215–16]: Two licences to operate the cellular radio telephone systems have been granted under the British Telecommunications Act 1981 and have effect as if granted under the Telecommunications Act 1984. A total of about 40 base stations will provide full coverage of the M25 motorway by early summer.
