Perhaps I misunderstood recent comments about the out of order telephones.

I understood that consideration was being given to placing them elsewhere but, in talking to one of the people accompanying Kevin Davis last Saturday, I was informed that they can be dismantled, but not set up again.

Perhaps this should be clarified.

It is surprising that a proposal which, judging by the number of comments I have heard, is clearly unpopular, is being considered just before an election.
