Telecommunications: Consumers
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) what steps Ofcom has taken since March 2005 to prevent telecommunications companies transferring customers from one provider to another without their knowledge;
- Answer
-
The matter raised is the responsibility of the independent regulator, the Office of Communications (Ofcom), which is accountable to Parliament rather than Ministers.
