- Hansard -

I present this petition having heard the concerns and personal examples of my constituents, particularly those from the areas of Southway, Estover and Budshead, who have been affected by persistent nuisance phone calls and—even worse—phone and text scams.

The petition states:

The Petition of residents of the Plymouth Moor View constituency and others,

Declares that the Petitioners would like the Government to provide additional powers to the Information Commissioner to stop the scourge of nuisance texts and phone calls; further declares that these calls are unsolicited but can result in the recipient being inconvenienced and charged when abroad.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to review the current law on cold and marketing calls and texts.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.
