<p>We have introduced a range of measures in recent months to reduce the number of
nuisance calls. These include making company directors personally liable for any breach
of the rules by their company and banning unwanted calls from claims management companies
and pensions providers in the Financial Guidance and Claims Act 2018. We are also
funding the National Trading Standards Scams Team to provide telephone call blocking
technology to vulnerable people, as announced during the Chancellor's budget last
year. We recognise there are a minority of companies that continue to flout the law
and we will work closely with regulators, industry and consumer groups to identify
further ways of addressing the issue.</p>
