Topical Questions
- Question
- May I ask the Secretary of State whether he will have discussions with the Secretary of State for Health to assess the effect on the nation's blood pressure of the increase in automated phone calls, to which the hon. Member for Thurrock (Andrew Mackinlay) referred? There is nothing more excruciating than being put on hold by a series of Dalek voices.
- Answer
-
I shall examine the hon. Gentleman's suggestion, although I am not going to promise that I can take forward that review. Perhaps this holds out the prospect that the Conservative party will do less phone canvassing in Crewe.
