I know there are some restrictions on importing live plants from abroad, but
can anyone clarify the position regarding importing seeds?

Depends on the seeds, the vendor and the quantity.

You can bring small amounts of commercially packaged seeds home from
holiday for instance. And you can mail order from other EEC countries
with a good chance the stuff will arrive OK. It is usually worth
checking if the seed is already available from specialist UK importers.

If the species is rare or CITES listed then you may have a problem.

Seeds for a handful of obviously noxious and/or narcotic plants are
illegal.
