MOBILE NUMBER PORTABILITY
Early day motion 714, tabled 13 September 2010 by Lord Foster of Bath (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 39 members.
That this House notes the recent changes to the UK's mobile number portability system which Ofcom has introduced; is concerned that the UK remains the only country in Europe where consumers have to ask permission of their existing provider in order to switch to a new provider; believes that quick and easy switching is fundamental to competition; and calls on Ofcom to re-examine the issue of recipient-led porting without delay.
