Text Message 999 Service

EDM number 1964 in 2007-08, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 07/07/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Emergency services and Telecommunications.

That this House notes that there is no facility to allow people to use text messages to contact blue light emergency services and believes that such a service could assist people needing to contact the emergency services when unable to speak; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to encourage the mobile telephone industry to come up with a text message 999 number through which blue light emergency services can be contacted.

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs.
