answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2015 answer text <p>It is unacceptable for consumers to be harassed by nuisance calls, and the Government takes this issue very seriously. We have strengthened the law and made it easier for the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) to take enforcement action, and have removed the fine cap for clamping down on those breaking the rules. We will soon be launching a consultation on proposals to legally mandate Calling Line Identification (CLI) for all direct marketing calls. We are encouraging the development of more innovative products to help consumers block unwanted calls, and have launched a competition fund with Innovate UK to achieve this.</p><p>Over the last 12 months the Secretary of State has had regular meetings with stakeholders covering various issues including nuisance calls. The Minister for Culture and the Digital Economy held a nuisance calls roundtable with a range of stakeholders including telecommunication companies, consumer groups and other interested parties. Officials hold regular meetings with stakeholders including Which?, Ofcom and the ICO.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 04/11/2015 17:06:12 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

uin	13497
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2015 answer text <p>The National Cyber Security Programme (NCSP) is a comprehensive five-year, £860 million programme which aims to protect and enhance the UK, tackle cyber crime and make the UK one of the safest places in the world to do business online. The cross-Government programme is led by the Cabinet Office, with support from the Department for Culture, Media &amp; Sport, the Home Office, the security &amp; intelligence agencies and many other Government departments. As such, investment which provides benefits for small businesses and consumers is spread across a wide range of projects and workstreams, as much of the work in the programme meets multiple objectives. A significant proportion of the £860 million is therefore invested in work to protect small businesses and consumers. This includes, but is not restricted to, approximately £14m for projects exclusively for small businesses and consumers, plus over 10% of the NCSP budget to date to build law enforcement capabilities, which includes supporting businesses and the public to stay safe.</p><br /> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 06/11/2015 10:54:31 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
