Mr. Grogan
To ask the President of the Board of Trade what plans she has to strengthen the powers of the Independent Committee for Supervision of Telephone Services to enforce its decisions on network operators. [31461]
Mrs. Roche
ICSTIS has a wide range of sanctions available to act against breaches of the ICSTIS Code of Practice and the ICSTIS system of regulation has the commitment and support from network operators. I am confident of the effectiveness of ICSTIS in regulating this market using its existing powers together with the continuing support of the industry.
