§ Mr. VazTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what representations she has received on the cost of the use of mobile telephones. [30190]
§ Mrs. RocheI have received very few representations on the cost of the use of mobile telephones; these are normally made to the Director General of Telecommunications. In March 1997, following concerns over prices expressed by consumers, OFTEL published a Consultative Document on the Price of Calls to Mobile Phones. This report sought views on the proposal that the price to consumers of calling mobile phones on the Vodaphone and Cellnet networks was too high. OFTEL is considering the responses it received to the consultation and is expected to announce its conclusions shortly.
