Cost Of Removal From Unsolicited Fax Lists

EDM number 1390 in 2002-03, proposed by Mike Weir on 11/06/2003.

That this House notes the continuing and increasing use by some operators of unsolicited faxes, which clog up fax machines with unwanted letters and use up consumables; notes that whilst these correctly state that recipients can be removed from mailing lists by phoning the operators concerned the cost of such calls must be borne by the recipient of the fax; believes that such costs should be borne by the sender of the unsolicited fax; and calls on the Government to introduce regulations to ensure that such phone lines are free to the recipients of unsolicited faxes.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
