The factors that weigh with local authorities in these cases commonly include: the call box's possible use in emergency situations; the quality of mobile signals in the area; and if people living nearby might not have access to mobile telephones, for whatever reason.</p><p> </p><p>Since it is better for such matters to be considered locally on a case-by-case basis, the Secretary of State has made no overall assessment of the role of public telephones in the situations referred to.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 30/06/2017 12:18:24 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
