AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC TEXTPHONES

That this House believes that the current nationwide provision of 84 public text phones is inadequate; notes that in the past two years there has been no increase in the number of public textphones; is concerned that plans to increase the number of public textphones to 400 by 2000 have been dropped or postponed; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to take action urgently to improve access to telecommunications for deaf and hearing-impaired people.
