Radiocommunications Agency Reaffirms Commitment to Best Practice

DTI press release - 1 April 1999


To reiterate its commitment to best practice in its working with business customers, the Radiocommunications Agency has today adopted the Enforcement Concordat.

The Enforcement Concordat was launched on 5 March last year as part of a Government initiative to improve regulatory services to business.

It provides for central and local government, in consultation with business and other relevant interested parties, including technical experts, to draw up standards of service and performance which business and the public can expect to receive.

The Radiocommunications Agency has previously established a Code of Practice for working with business and also published a Charter Statement under the Citizen's Charter.
