Signal Blocking Devices

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ashton of Hyde on 13 December (HL11924), what is their assessment of the effectiveness of the enforcement of the prohibition on the sale of devices which interfere with the legitimate use of spectrum, in the light of the ongoing advertisement of GPS jammers on eBay.

The Government has not made such an assessment. Enforcement is a matter for Ofcom, as the independent regulator.
