Proceeding contribution from Lord De Mauley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 March 2006. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Communications Act 2003 (Maximum Penalty for Persistent Misuse of Network or Service) Order 2006.


Communications Act 2003 (Maximum Penalty for Persistent Misuse of Network or Service) Order 2006

I understand that BT receives more than 100,000 calls a month from people who are distressed at receiving silent calls. If Ofcom is satisfied that all those are without cause, I fail to understand why it is necessary to increase the fine if it is not being used.
