93. Earl of Dalkeith

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications whether he will give a general direction to the Post Office to change the emergency telephone dialling code from 999 to 222.

No. Any change of code would be a matter for agreement between the Post Office and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department and other users of the 999 emergency dialling code systems.
