answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2016 answer text <p>As the Secretary of State has stated previously, local papers are the bread and butter of journalism - they part of the communities they serve, and people rely on and respect them. In our manifesto, we committed to consulting on the introduction of a business rates relief for local newspapers in England, which was launched in summer 2015. In the March 2016 Budget, the government announced that local newspapers will be eligible for a business rates discount for two years from April 2017. We are confident that this will help local newspapers maintain a presence on the local high street.</p><p>Our recently published BBC White Paper, 'A BBC for the future: a broadcaster of distinction', sets our our expectation for the BBC to enjoy a positive partnership with the local news sector. The News Media Association (NMA) and the BBC have been working together to develop proposals and good progress has been made in agreeing the principles of a service that will see the BBC providing some funding for local journalists to provide reporting for news providers. These plans will be implemented in consultation with the industry.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 04/07/2016 15:29:45 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if his Department will investigate reports that BT is installing and charging for telephone lines for customers who have not requested one and who are only customers of fibre optic services.
tabling member constituency	Northampton South
tabling member printed	David Mackintosh
uin	41401
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2016 answer text The Department’s understanding is that BT Openreach installs fibre and other services, ordered by communications providers for their customers. This includes fibre broadband services, most of which require a copper line to be installed in order to provide a telephone service. Assurance has been provided by BT that they would not provide a telephone service, or any other chargeable service, without the customer’s knowledge and authorisation. However, should this for any reason be the case, then consumers are advised to seek redress through the usual protections that are in place.<blockquote><blockquote><blockquote> </blockquote></blockquote></blockquote> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 06/07/2016 09:24:21 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2016 answer text <p>Superfast broadband coverage will reach 95% of UK premises by the end of 2017. Further funding from clawback and efficiency savings in the local broadband contracts with BT will allow this coverage to be extended further.</p><p>In addition it is the Government's intention to implement a new broadband Universal Service Obligation. This will give people the legal right to request a broadband connection, no matter where they live, by the end of this Parliament. Our ambition is that this should initially be set at 10 Mbps.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 01/07/2016 12:23:31 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
