Lib Dem phone calls halted.
A rather dubious election technique has been banned.
Last week, the Lib Dems were ordered to stop making unsolicited automated calls to voters or face prosecution after being found to have breached privacy rules.
The Information Commissioner's Office ruled after receiving a number of complaints that 250,000 such calls constituted 'direct marketing', which is not allowed without the voter's prior consent.
