The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what investigations it has made of the impact on individuals using mobile phones and pay-as-you-go phones of the cost of using 0845 telephone numbers.
The answer
The Scottish Government has not made any investigations into the impact on individuals using mobile phones and pay-as-you-go phones of the cost of using 0845 telephone numbers. We understand, however, that the industry regulator, Ofcom, is currently carrying out a review of all non geographic call services, including 0845 telephone numbers, and that the issue of the impact of the cost of calls on mobile only pre-paid customers will be considered as part of this review.
