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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what recent discussions he has had with consumer groups on nuisance telephone calls.

The Minister for Culture and the Digital Economy has held two roundtables this year with a range of interested stakeholders, including consumer groups. The last one took place in March.

The Government takes the issue of the nuisance telephone calls seriously and continues to work with the regulators, consumer groups and industry to co-ordinate on efforts to clamp down on such unwanted calls and protect all consumers.
