Take a look at this: http://www.nopenaltypoints.co.uk/The...eDriving.htmlk

More importantly where it says this:

Can I use a hands free phone?
Yes you can. Essentially, you are allowed to push buttons, but not to hold the phone, so make sure it’s in a cradle which is attached to your dashboard. However, do remember that if you are stopped for driving in a poor or careless manner and the police discover that you were using a hands-free mobile phone, you can still be prosecuted for not having proper control of your vehicle - the penalty for which is the same as it is for using a hand held phone while driving - a £60 fine and 3 penalty points.

It states you are not allowed to hold the phone while driving.
