Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many reports of misleading websites have been made to the webpage www.gov.uk/misleadingwebsites; how many different websites have been the subject of such reports; and what steps the Government has taken as a result of such reports.

GOV.UK provides a single ‘front page’ through which users can report misleading websites - however, users are linked through to Action Fraud and Google to make the reports themselves. GOV.UK is just one of many sources of referral to these sources.

For government action on misleading websites, I refer the honourable gentleman to my previous answer to PQ52413.
