BRITISH TELECOM CHARGES

Early day motion 1230, tabled 27 March 2007 by Helen Jones (Labour). Signed by 90 members.

That this House condemns the decision by British Telecom to impose a charge on customers who do not pay their bills by direct debit or monthly payment plan; believes that this charge penalises many customers who pay their bills promptly, including many pensioners; and urges BT to change its charging policy.
