Dear Editor,

Britain is not scrapping 999! The 112 number will complement but not replace each EU country's own emergency number, meaning people will just have to learn 112 to be certain of getting through to the emergency services in whatever EU country they are in, from Portugal to Poland or Finland to France. So, it's actually a very sensible idea!

Yours,

Richard Corbett
