Department for Culture Media and Sport written question – answered at on 19 November 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of banning the use of automated telephone dialling technology in order to prevent nuisance calls.
A call being made by an automated dialler is not automatically a nuisance call, providing the organisation complies with the relevant legislation, such as the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) that specifically relates to sales and marketing calls.
A ban on the use of automated telephone dialling technology has therefore not been considered necessary by Government.
