This is not just an UK or Ofcom thing, but an international agreement.
Also in Holland mateurs wil be allowed to use an extend 40m band.
As for broadcasting the 41 meterband will be stretched to 7400 kHz.

I thought it was a few years before the expansion becomes official?
(that the countries that allow 7100-7200KHz are using some kind of
"escape clause" that allows them to ignore international regulations if
no interference results?)

Anyway, it's a very welcome change. I'm looking forward to working some
European stations on 40m SSB without having the press the SPLIT button!
