Asked by: Jason McCartney (Conservative - Colne Valley)
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he is taking to stop websites charging for (a) the European Health Insurance Card and (b) other services provided for free by the Government.
Answered by Lord Maude of Horsham
The Government is working with search engine providers to address the problem of websites which are misleading to the public. The Government is also leading work with other bodies such as the National Trading Standards Board (NTSB) to raise public awareness of this issue and ensure enforcement action is taken where appropriate.
Gov.uk, the Government's single web domain, is the best place for the public to find information on Government services.
