A mobile radio communications network within which a mobile radio communications device is to operate with access to a Small Data Transmission (SDT) feature is disclosed. The network includes a first network device arranged to receive SDT signalling initiated by the mobile radio communications device and a second network device arranged to receive signalling from the first network device as part of an establishment procedure for attempted SDT communications, the first network device being further arranged to determine if SDT should be prevented for the mobile radio communications device and responsive to its signalling exchange with the second network device, and to initiate a SDT rejection message for use in the control of the mobile radio communications device if SDT is to be prevented.
