HC Deb 01 July 1992 vol 210 c640W
Mr. Tom Clarke

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what discussions he has had with Oftel on the priority telephone fault repair service for the disabled; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Leigh

My right hon. Friend and I meet the Director General of OFTEL from time to time to discuss a wide range of telecommunications issues. He fully shares the Government's view of the importance of a free priority fault repair service for those disabled customers whose lives depend on having constant telephone access to outside medical help.
