Chris Bryant MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for the Arts, commenting on the government announcement on cold calling today said:
“Labour has been calling on the Government to act for years, so we welcome their belated acceptance of our calls for stronger powers to tackle cold calling. However after five years of failing working families, it’s not good enough for Tory ministers to say they’re ‘looking at introducing’ stronger measures. If this Government fails to act, the next Labour government will.”
