The BBC Charter Review Consultation Paper, published in July 2015, set out the issues for consideration in Charter Review. The Government will set out its proposals in a White Paper in Spring.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is taking forward a range of measures to tackle nuisance calls, which will increase consumer protection and choice by strengthening the Information Commissioner's Office's (ICO) ability to take enforcement action against organisations that break the law. Specific actions include consulting on making it a requirement for direct marketing callers to display calling line identification; strengthening the ICO's direct marketing guidance; and exploring extending the ICO\u2019s powers of compulsory audit to more of the organisations that generate nuisance calls. Baroness Neville-Rolfe's speech on the subject to the Direct Marketing Authority can be found at:https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/baroness-nevile-rolfe-on-data-protection-and-nuisance-calls<\/a><\/del><\/p>
