	tabling member printed	Lord Birt
	uin	HL339
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2014 answer text <p>The online infringement of copyright provisions within the Digital Economy Act 2010 have not yet been implemented, and so no such assessment has been carried out. The delay is due to a number of factors, including legal challenge and ensuring compliance with Government “Managing Public Money” principles. In the meantime the Government has encouraged the industry to investigate a voluntary copyright alert programme, which should produce similar results in a significantly shorter timescale. I am grateful to the industry for the energy with which they have picked up this challenge. Nevertheless, unless an effective alternative is put in place, Government continues to be committed to implementation of the provisions with the Digital Economy Act.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 24/06/2014 13:24:55 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

	tabling member printed	Baroness Thornton
	uin	HL373
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2014 answer text <p>Under UK law only male or female is recognised as a gender. We recognise that a very small number of people consider themselves to be of neither gender. We are not aware that that results in any specific detriment, and it is not Government policy to identify such people for the purpose of issuing non-gender-specific official documents.</p><p>A specific review on gender markings in the British passport was carried out by Her Majesty's Passport Office, which has been placed in the Library of both Houses. The review concluded that there would be no significant advantages to including a non-gender category along with male and female.</p> answering member printed Baroness Northover question first answered 25/06/2014 13:58:04 answering member 2539 label Biography information for Baroness Northover
