Lord True (Con)
I will have to write to the noble Baroness on biological security; I undertake to do so.
Lord Bhatia (Non-Afl) [V]
Will the Government provide free phones to those who cannot afford to buy them?
Lord True (Con)
The intention is for this to be a cell notice. There will be no charges for receipt of this service. The noble Lord makes a point about penetration and the capabilities of different telephones, and some people do not have or want a telephone at all. I assure him that the Government are taking all those matters into account.
