HC Deb 10 May 2000 vol 349 c399W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what criteria are used by Her Majesty's Government to prioritise the use of radio frequencies for emergency transmissions. [121361]

Ms Hewitt

Radio frequencies are set aside specifically for emergency service use. The emergency services have priority within those frequency bands and no criterion other than being an emergency service is used.
