Disconnection of stolen phones

Early day motion 1458, tabled 13 June 2025 by Martin Wrigley (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 22 members.

That this House calls for an immediate crackdown on phone theft by forcing big tech & phone companies to disconnect mobile phones that have been stolen and on the International Mobile Equipment Identity blacklist; notes the public discontent with big tech companies failing to enforce easy safeguards towards protecting customers from phone theft, as companies such as Apple and Google continue to make profit and continue to sell more phones because these phones are not removed from the system.
