We don't have 220MHz, but we do have 70MHz - maybe that's what you were 
thinking of?

We have 2m and 70cm, which run from 144MHz to 146MHz and 430MHz to 
440MHz respectively.  Because 70cm is second-user to military stuff (as 
it is in most of the world) there are ERP limits in certain parts of the 
country.

Unfortunately because of the fundamentally broken nature of the RSGB's 
pathetic excuse for a website, it's impossible to link to the bandplans 
directly.  So, follow the ridiculous URL below and click on the 
badly-designed menu at the bottom of the page:

http://www.rsgb.org/committees/spectrumforum/docs/rsgb_band_plan_2012.htm

Here is the rather more effective and usable ETCC website with all the 
UK repeaters on it:

Hope this helps ;-)
