They are allowed in those situations in the UK now and have been for ages, certainly on easyJet. I've even been on a flight where they were allowed once the aircraft had left the runway to taxi to the terminal - might have been KLM, but I'm not sure.
easyJet normally say you then have to turn it off when you disembark to when you enter the terminal, but this is completely unenforced.
