§ Mr. DonohoeTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what figures his Department has received from British Telecom relating to the number of users of the telephone network making calls erroneously using the old national dialling codes; and if he will make it his policy for these figures to be published. [1742]
Mr. TaylorMy Department has not received any figures from BT relating to the number of wrongly dialled calls. Any decision on a policy of publishing such figures would be a matter for the Director General of Telecommunications. However, OFTEL has conducted a customer survey which revealed that the vast majority, 85 per cent. of those surveyed, did not find the changes a significant problem.
