Radar Separation Minima

Hello All,

I was just wondering if an Area controller somewhere out there could give me a quick pointer in the right direction.

Because I clearly don't have enough to do, I was looking for something in our Jeppy Text Manual the other day... (skip long and boring bit) ... so in other words, in the Horizontal Separation bit, I could see lots of stuff about longitudinal separation (based on time, DME, MNo etc.) but there were two bits I couldn't find.

1) Ignoring radar for a second, are there any lateral limits (i.e. could I be flying along an airway with someone 'on my wing' 20 miles away.

2) What are the minima for Radar control - how close can I be vectored to another aircraft.

Many thanks for any help,

NW3
