Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:00 pm on 20 June 2017.
No-cold-calling zones are a part of it, but, of course, they, naturally, can’t affect scams that emerge on line or by telephone. I have seen local authorities—Bridgend is one example—that run very successful campaigns through their trading standards departments to inform people of what scams can look like, and they can be very effective, and that campaign was very effective. I saw it myself in Bridgend. Now, it’s important that local authorities learn from each other to see what they can do to protect people from scams that aren’t detectable, through methods such as no-cold-calling zones.
