Susan Kramer MP for Richmond Park

LOCAL MP AIMS TO SAVE LIVES BY TEXT

2.33.30pm BST (GMT +0100) Mon 21st Jul 2008

Susan Kramer, MP for Richmond Park and North Kingston is backing her Liberal Democrat colleague Adrian Sanders' Parliamentary campaign to introduce a 999 text service.

Susan Kramer MP said:

"Many people are unable to talk when they need to call an emergency service. People with respiratory conditions, hearing impairments or other speech debilitating conditions may not be able to use the phone, but could text for help."

"There are also people in dangerous or threatening situations where they cannot speak out but could text for assistance."

"Lives could be saved if such a facility could be arranged which is why I am backing a Commons Early Day Motion calling on the Government to encourage the mobile phone industry to come up with a text message 999 service".
