On the F70/100 it is "out" for landing but during high-speed flight the actual extension of the speedbrake varies according to the airload. I.e. if the airload exceeds the pressure put on the speed brake by the hydraulic system it will not extend fully.

Any Avro guys around who'd tell us whether they fiddle with the speedbrake setting on final.
