Willie Penrose (Longford-Westmeath, Labour)

I move amendment No. 27

In page 10, line 5, after "licence" to insert "or who infringes the terms of a licence".

"(d) which is in respect of a service different to that promoted, which involved non-delivery of messages, failure of stop command, no or inadequate price warnings, blank messages or a service incompatible with the handset from which it was requested.".

Section 11 appears to be somewhat limited and confined to overcharging above the advertised charge. The insertion of this amendment would broaden this considerably and provide a clear definition and approach to this issue. I ask the Minister to give some degree of consideration to it because it would be consumer-oriented. It would be welcomed by the public as it would give them another layer of protection.
