TEXT MESSAGE 999 SERVICE

Early day motion 1964, tabled 7 July 2008 by Adrian Sanders (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 44 members.

That this House notes that there is no facility to allow people to use text messages to contact blue light emergency services and believes that such a service could assist people needing to contact the emergency services when unable to speak; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to encourage the mobile telephone industry to come up with a text message 999 number through which blue light emergency services can be contacted.

Signatures by party: Labour 22, Liberal Democrat 18, Conservative 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
