Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he has had recent discussions with Three on the lessons learned from the test of the emergency alerts service.
This question was answered on 6th September 2023
During the national test of the emergency alerts system on 23 April 2023, some Three Mobile customers did not receive the alert.
To address this issue, the Deputy Prime Minister met with the CEO of Three Mobile on 26 April 2023. Following this meeting, Three Mobile has made a number of technical improvements to rectify the errors made on the test day. Three Mobile has since reassured the government that they believe the underlying issue has now been resolved.
