<title>Text Message 999 Service</title>
<proposer id="10527">Adrian Sanders</proposer>
<date>2009-11-18</date>
<text>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 while unable to speak; and calls on the 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.</text>
