VIDEO PHONES

That this House congratulates Avon and Somerset Police on being the first police force in the world to use video phones to enable deaf people to contact the emergency services; notes that the scheme involves an operator who can use sign language communicating via video phone with a deaf caller; and urges the Government to look at ways in which constituents can use similar methods to communicate with their honourable members in Westminster.
