The Lord Speaker (Lord Fowler)
I call Lord Desai. No? We will move on. I call the noble Lord, Lord Paddick.
Lord Paddick (LD)
My Lords, this new emergency service network will operate on old 4G technology, and current estimates are that it will cost £33,000 per user. We learned from the King’s Cross fire and the 7/7 terrorist attacks the importance of this network working on the London Underground but, to date, it does not—even though my own iPhone does. How and when will this be resolved?
