uin	107195
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p>The Government took a power In the Digital Economy Act 2017 enabling the introduction of a new broadband Universal Service Obligation (USO), which would give people the right to request a connection, at a minimum speed, from a designated provider, up to a reasonable cost threshold. On 30 July, a consultation on the proposed design of the broadband USO was published, and the Government also announced that BT had volunteered a proposal to deliver universal broadband. The BT proposal, if accepted, would be legally binding, and deliver a minimum speed of at least 10Mbps, with many premises receiving substantially faster speeds. BT's offer has the potential to deliver better connectivity to people more quickly than under a regulatory USO so we are considering it carefully. A decision will be taken on the best route to deliver universal broadband, once we have considered the responses to the regulatory USO consultation which closed on 9 October, and worked through BT's offer in detail with them.</p><p> </p><p>Once a specification for a broadband USO is set in secondary legislation, it would fall to Ofcom to implement the USO, by designating one or more universal service providers and imposing regulatory conditions on them.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p>The Data Protection Bill, which recently received its second reading, will create a modern legal framework for the UK, suitable for the digital age, incorporating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It will require either clearer and affirmative consent from individuals to be sought, or apply additional safeguards where data processing is allowed in the absence of consent. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) recently published draft guidance on consent under the GDPR; this can be found on the ICO's website - www.ico.org.uk.</p><p> </p><p>Under the new law where direct marketing by post involves the processing of personal data, data controllers will need a legal basis for such processing. Article 6 of GDPR lists a number of possible legal bases which in certain circumstances can be relied upon by data controllers. Where no other legal basis applies then the consent of the data subject will be required.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 16/10/2017 14:42:21 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
