The Government takes the threat of pension scams very seriously.<\/p>

That is why the Government launched a consultation in December 2016 looking at three potential interventions to tackle this issue, including legislating to introduce a ban on cold calling in relation to pensions to help stop fraudsters contacting individuals and legislating to give firms new powers to block transfers. The government will publish a response to the consultation which will set out our intended next steps.

In April 2015 further conditions for applying selective licensing were introduced, so local authorities could target defined areas with problems such as deprivation, high crime and poor property.<\/p>

In 2014 the Government took action to cap repair charges imposed on leaseholders by public sector landlords for government-funded maintenance.

This Government has been clear there should be no safe space online for terrorists and their supporters to radicalise, recruit, incite, or inspire. In March 2017, the Home Secretary held a very positive meeting with industry to discuss online terrorist content. Subsequent to the roundtable, Google, Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft made a public commitment to look at options for establishing an industry-led forum focused on tackling terrorist and extremist content online.<\/p>

This was formally announced by the companies on 26 June 2016. We continue to work closely with industry to come up with new, innovative ways for tackling terrorist use of the internet but, as the Prime Minister has made clear, we will also explore the possibility of creating legal requirements for communications service providers if they fail to take the necessary action to remove unacceptable content<\/p>
