Availability Of Public Textphones

EDM number 789 in 1998-99, proposed by Paul Burstow on 06/07/1999.

That this House believes that the current nationwide provision of 84 public text phones is inadequate; notes that in the past two years there has been no increase in the number of public textphones; is concerned that plans to increase the number of public textphones to 400 by 2000 have been dropped or postponed; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to take action urgently to improve access to telecommunications for deaf and hearing-impaired people.

This motion has been signed by a total of 26 MPs.
