answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2014 answer text <p>DCMS plays no role in setting the protocols that determine when, where or which flags are flown in the United Kingdom. The Department for Communities and Local Government undertook a numbers of measures to deregulate flag flying in England in 2012. The flag flying policy in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland is a matter for the specific devolved administrations themselves.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 08/07/2014 09:31:13 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

tabling member constituency	Ribble Valley
tabling member printed	Mr Nigel Evans
uin	203497
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p>Tackling nuisance calls is a priority issue for the Department and we are pursuing a range of options for reform, which consists of both legislative and non-legislative measures. We believe these will help in our efforts to make a significant difference in our fight against such calls. On 30th March 2014, we published our Nuisance Calls Action Plan that set out proposals including legislation, which will enable Ofcom to share information more easily with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). The Order was debated in the House on 26 June and approved, which will become effective shortly after it is made. Also, we will shortly consult to lower the legal threshold, which will better enable ICO to take enforcement action against organisations that breach the rules, including those that currently manage to avoid penalties being issued to them. Further details about our Action Plan can be viewed at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/nuisance-calls-action-plan-unveiled" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/nuisance-calls-action-plan-unveiled</a></p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 07/07/2014 15:44:35 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p>The not spot data was updated by Ofcom with information from the mobile network operators. The operators submitted updated information on where they have coverage, as predicted by desktop planning tools, in March 2014. Ofcom did not carry out on the ground tests for all 34,000 not spots across the UK containing premises, as to do so would be prohibitively expensive. In areas where coverage is thought to be marginal, or there is uncertainty over coverage, DCMS officials have commissioned drive testing to check the level of coverage.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 07/07/2014 09:47:55 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

The operators have since made changes to their networks, going through a process of consolidating and sharing sites, and this has had an impact on the locations of not spots. Ofcom updated the not spot data for 2014 with information from the mobile network operators.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 07/07/2014 09:53:19 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
