I look forward to the Minister's response on these amendments. Young people often receive unsolicited premium rate text messages. They may occur on a regular basis without their consent because once they receive the message and accept it, other messages are likely to follow and they can build up a substantial bill without knowing it. Redress through courts is not easy and can be very expensive. The matter is of concern to me and my party.
