Letter of correction from Mr. Jim Fitzpatrick:
An error has been identified in a written answer given to the hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington (Tom Brake) on 17 November 2008. The answer given was as follows:
Jim Fitzpatrick: The Department for Transport itself uses Airwave handsets. The following of the Department's executive agencies and sponsored non-departmental bodies are also users of Airwave handsets:
Highways Agency
Marine and Coastguard Agency
British Transport Police.
The following two executive agencies have been made ‘approved sharers’ of Airwave by Ofcom, the radio spectrum regulator, but do not currently use Airwave handsets:
Government Car and Despatch Agency
Vehicle and Operator Services Agency.
The correct answer should have been:
Jim Fitzpatrick: The Department for Transport itself uses Airwave handsets. The following of the Department's executive agencies and sponsored non-departmental bodies are also users of Airwave handsets:
Highways Agency
British Transport Police.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency uses a fixed set.
