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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what the timetable is for the consultation on amending the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulation 2003 to introduce director liability for breaches of that regulation.

Directors of organisations responsible for making unsolicited marketing calls should be held to account. We intend to consult over the summer on making the necessary changes to the Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulations 2003, with a view to introducing the legislation by the end of the year.
