BT'S PRIORITY REPAIR SERVICE

Early day motion 608, tabled 18 July 2005 by Joan Walley (Labour). Signed by 38 members.

That this House welcomes the campaign by BBC Radio Stoke to draw attention to the benefits of BT's free priority repair service; encourages all those who think that their illness or disability qualifies them for it to apply; notes that there will still be some people who will not qualify and who are unable to afford the Total Care service enhancement; and calls upon the Regulator and BT to consider further how vulnerable people who are currently ineligible can be offered a speed of repair that reflects the safety function of their telephone line.

Signatures by party: Labour 26, Conservative 4, Liberal Democrat 4, DUP 2, Plaid Cymru 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
