Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to his Department's announcement of 3 December 2013, on putting an end to shock mobile telephone bills, what progress his Department has made on implementing a consumer liability cap on stolen mobile telephones.

The Telecommunications Consumer Action Plan has made strong progress. To continue important work on this issue I have invited the major Mobile Network Operators to a Round Table meeting, where the MNOs will confirm details of the liability caps they will offer for any unauthorised use of lost or stolen phones.
