§ Mr. CranTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what criteria are used by his Department when determining whether to grant licences to users of radio surveillance equipment.
§ Mr. ButcherI have been asked to reply.
There are three main criteria which are applied to decisions about licensing radio surveillance equipment:
- (1) Does it meet the necessary equipment performance requirements laid down by the Department?
- (2) Are the necessary frequencies available?
- (3) Is the equipment to be used for a legal purpose?
