Telecommunications: Consumers
- Question
- (3) what steps the Government is taking to prevent telecommunications companies from 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. Accordingly, I have asked the Chief Executive of Ofcom to reply directly to the hon. Member. Copies of the Chief Executive’s letter will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
