A government so blatantly and unashamedly in the pockets of the insurance industry are never going to ban cold calling as that would impact third party capture by insurers and their panel solicitors.

Those of you who have recently renewed your insurance will notice that alongside the almost pointless legal expenses cover they offer to charge you for, there is also now an additional product called something along the lines of 'personal injury cover'.

I can only assume that this product was introduced by insurers when it started to look like cold calling would be banned so that they could argue by taking out such cover, there was consent/authorisation for you to be contacted in the event of an accident.

Presumably due to low up take of this product, the insurers simply decided to pull the relevant strings and have the cold calling ban taken off the table by this abomination of a government. Shame on them.
