LEICESTER MERCURY PHONE MAST CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 394, tabled 12 January 2004 by Keith Vaz (Labour). Signed by 24 members.

That this House welcomes the campaign launched by the Leicester Mercury to try and get a full and complete up-to-date list of mobile phone mast locations in the UK; notes that Leicestershire has granted permission for more than 500 masts above 15 metres but there are hundreds more of the smaller masts that do not need permission and whose location is unknown; and calls on the Deputy Prime Minister to require up-to-date records to be kept by every local authority and which is open to public inspection so that local people are aware of where these masts are.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, Liberal Democrat 4, Labour/Co-operative 3, Conservative 2, DUP 1.
