HL Deb 10 March 1998 vol 587 c31WA
Lord Gregson

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have any plans to set up a public telephone number on which members of the public will be able to offer information to the Security Service. [HL1004]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

A new telephone number—the MI5 Phoneline—is today being established by the Security Service. The purpose of the Phoneline is to make it easier for people to pass on information which could help the Service do its work. The Phone will not serve as a general enquiry point about the Security Service. Enquiries should continue to be addressed, in writing, to the Security Service at The Enquiries Desk, PO Box 3255, London SW1P 1AE.

For those who wish to provide information to the Security Service, the number is 0171 930 9000.
