These Regulations amend the Wireless Telegraphy (Licence Charges) Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/1850) in relation to Maritime Business Radio and Private Mobile Radio (Standard) Licences.
Those Regulations were in error in that—
in relation to both types of licence, they provided that for stations in excess of 40 the fee payable should be calculated on the basis of successive groups of 40 (any final group of less than 40 being disregarded); and
in relation to Private Mobile Radio (Standard), they provided that, where a licence authorised the use of national channels, other channels were to be disregarded in calculating the fee.
These Regulations retain the basis of charging which was provided in the Wireless Telegraphy (Licence Charges) Regulations 1986 (S.I. 1986/1039) and the Wireless Telegraphy (Licence Charges) (Amendment) Regulations 1988 (S.I. 1988/135).
