(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order extends to the Isle of Man the provisions of the Telecommunications Act 1984 specified in article 3(1) of the Order subject to the exceptions, adaptations and modifications specified in Part I of the Schedule to the Order and the provisions of the Broadcasting Act 1990 specified in article 3(2) of the Order subject to the exceptions, adaptations and modifications specified in Part II of that Schedule. The provisions extended by this Order include amendments to the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 and the Marine, &c., Broadcasting (Offences) Act 1967.

Article 2 of the Order also varies the Wireless Telegraphy (Isle of Man) Order 1981 so as to revoke the extension to the Isle of Man of section 7 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1967; this is consequent on the enactment of legislation in the Isle of Man equivalent to that section.
