Explanatory note

The Secretary of State granted to East London Telecommunications Limited on 16th November 1989 a licence under section 7 of the Telecommunications Act 1984 to run the telecommunications systems specified in Annex A to that licence, in the whole of the London Boroughs of Redbridge and Barking and Dagenham and the whole of the London Borough of Bexley except Thamesmead Town. A copy of the licence was laid before Parliament on 27th November 1989. This Order designates those telecommunication systems as public telecommunication systems. Consequently, by virtue of section 9(3) of that Act, East London Telecommunications Limited will be a public telecommunications operator when the Order comes into force.

A copy of the licence may be obtained from the Office of Telecommunications, Atlantic House, Holborn Viaduct, London EC1N 2HQ.
