Jeremy Balfour MSP for the Lothian Region attended the Which? Nuisance Calls campaign event on Wednesday 13 September at the Scottish Parliament, giving his support to the Which? Campaign to stop nuisance calls.
Which? research shows as many as eight in 10 (81%) Scots received a nuisance call on their landline in the last month, so campaigners from the consumer champion spoke to MSPs about the issues with these calls that many are facing in their constituency.
Alex Neill, Which? Managing Director of Home Products and Services, said: “We’re delighted that Jeremy Balfour MSP attended our event and is backing our campaign to put an end to nuisance calls.
“Scots continue to receive more nuisance calls than the rest of the UK, and we are delighted that Jeremy will get behind the Scottish Government’s action plan and raise awareness of this everyday menace to the public.”
Jeremy commented that ‘the issue of nuisance calls affects everyone and I am pleased to support the campaign to help raise awareness of how people can protect themselves against nuisance calls, especially the vulnerable and most at risk people in our local areas.’
