	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2018 answer text <p>The Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 was introduced to regulate R18-rated video-on-demand content and ban the provision of video-on-demand material that has been or would be refused a classification by the British Board of Film Classification. The Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 amended the Communications Act 2003, which is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, and will thus continue to apply after we exit the EU. We will use the powers within the Withdraw Bill to ensure that the content in question is still regulated after we leave the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Cross-border broadcasting is currently regulated by the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) which allows the UK-based broadcasting licensees to broadcast freely into the EU. In her Mansion House speech earlier this month, the Prime Minister stated that the UK should “explore creative options with an open mind, including mutual recognition which would allow for continued transfrontier broadcasting.” We understand that this will be a difficult negotiation, but remain absolutely committed to securing the best possible deal for the UK and for the broadcasting sector. We are determined to ensure that our future relationship with the EU recognises the enriching role that British broadcasters and content producers play not only in the UK but also in our common European culture.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 27/03/2018 16:37:23 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2018 answer text <p>We have taken several measures to crackdown on unacceptable behaviour in the online primary and secondary ticketing markets and to improve fans’ chances of buying tickets at a reasonable price. In line with Professor Waterson’s independent review into the ticketing market, however, we do not have plans to ban the secondary market.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Consumer Rights Act 2015 already includes rules about tickets offered for sale on the secondary market. The Digital Economy Act 2017 adds an additional requirement for ticket sellers to provide a unique ticket number when re-selling a ticket, and provides the power to create a specific offence, of electronically purchasing more tickets than the maximum permitted. We intend to enact this power via secondary legislation later this year.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We welcome the work of the Competition and Markets Authority and Trading Standards in taking enforcement action against those who are suspected to be in breach of consumer law.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 27/03/2018 16:40:55 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
