The terms that may be included because of sub-paragraph (1) include, in particular, terms providing that the licence may not be revoked or varied except—
a
with the consent of the holder of the licence; or
b
in such other circumstances and on such grounds as may be specified in the licence.
3
The circumstances or grounds may relate to matters relevant for the purposes of any other enactment (and may, in particular, be dependent on the exercise of a statutory discretion under any other enactment).
4
A licence containing terms included because of sub-paragraph (1) may also provide that regulations made under section 45—

Despite any term or provision included in a wireless telegraphy licence in accordance with this paragraph, OFCOM may at any time by giving the holder of the licence a notice in writing revoke the licence or vary its terms, provisions or limitations, if it appears to OFCOM to be necessary or expedient to do so—
a
in the interests of national security; or
b
for the purpose of securing compliance with an international obligation of the United Kingdom.
