The UK government is planning to make company directors personally liable for nuisance calls – two years after it first promised the powers to the data protection watchdog.

At the moment, the Information Commissioner's Office can only hand out fines to companies that make spam marketing calls. Under the new plan, announced today, it will have the power to hand out further fines of up to £500,000 to the directors themselves.
