answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2016 answer text <p>The Cultural Citizens Programme will be piloted from September 2016. As outlined in the Culture White Paper Annex 1 (measuring the impact), we will commission a bespoke evaluation of this pilot and the findings from this will determine how the programme will develop in subsequent years. The programme will operate in up to 70 areas across the country by the end of the third year, and will be focused in areas where cultural participation is lowest and where young people's opportunities are likely to be more limited. We want everyone regardless of background to have the opportunity to experience culture.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 25/04/2016 08:46:55 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2016 answer text <p>The Data Protection Act 1998 requires every data controller who is processing personal information to register with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) unless they are exempt. The ICO’s website sets out the criteria for notification and provides guidance on the level of fee organisations should be paying. The ICO have also made it easier for organisations to notify and pay the fee by introducing online payments.</p><p>At the end of 2015/2016 there were 441,000 data controllers registered with the ICO, which generated a total income of £18.3 million. Due to the very broad range of exemptions from the need to notify, and because these exemptions do not need to be actively claimed, there is no recognised figure for the number of notifiable data controllers in the UK.

Ofcom periodically reviews the two approved ADR schemes (Ombudsman Services: Communications and the Communications and Internet Services Adjudication Scheme) and monitors their ability to deal with complaints independently, transparently and effectively.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 25/04/2016 08:35:31 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
