This will stop scammers and immature people causing unnecessary stress.

Ban or stop the use of 141. 1470 or #31#. There is no need for someone or businesses to hide numbers if they are legit and genuine.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
