Lord Faulkner of Worcester

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What steps they are taking to discourage the antisocial use of mobile telephones on public transport. [HL689]

Lord Macdonald of Tradeston

We hope that passengers using mobile phones when travelling on public transport will show consideration to other passengers. However, the use of mobile phones on public transport is a matter for individual transport operators.
