Rejected petition mandatory phone caller numbers

More details

I would like te Government to bring in legislation making ALL telephone callers display or leave a number that is traceable.

This will assist the Telephone Preference Service [TPS] and OFCOM in dealing with nuisance calls. These calls are a growing menace in today's marketing climate.

Currently a caller can leave a caller display or message to state they are 'Out of the area' or 'Private' which means you cannot give the 'caller identity' to TPS or OFCOM when complaining.
