Mr Michael Fabricant (Lichfield, Conservative)
Does my hon. Friend give Oftel at least some credit for announcing this morning that a competitive system of directory inquiry telephone lines will be introduced? My hon. Friend the Member for South Cambridgeshire (Mr. Lansley) points out that there was no prime directive to introduce competition, but Oftel has introduced it to some degree, although perhaps not as much as the Independent Television Commission or the Radio Authority.
