- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their latest estimate of the total number of websites that have been shut down with the help of City of London Police to date; and how many websites have agreed to remove Rugby World Cup tickets from their websites as a result of secondary-market operators being in breach of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
- Answer
-
It is not possible to give an estimate of the total number of websites that have been shut down with the help of City of London Police. In the financial year 2014-15, 6029 websites were disrupted with the assistance of the City of London Police; and in 2013-14, 2365 websites were disrupted.
Trading Standards have lead responsibility for enforcing the online secondary ticketing provisions of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and information on interventions in relation to websites is not held centrally.
