answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2015 answer text <p>The Government remains committed to seeing an improvement in the provision of access services for video-on-demand (VoD) services and will continue to monitor progress. If the Authority for Television on Demand’s (ATVOD's) 2015 annual survey of VoD Services indicates that significant progress has not been made then, as stated in the Connectivity, Content and Consumers Paper (July 2013), we will consider legislation in 2016.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2015 answer text <p>The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has not made any estimate of the number of libraries that will close in England and Wales between 2015 and 2020. It is a matter for local authorities to determine how best to provide a comprehensive and efficient public library service to their local community, within available resources. The Secretary of State’s duty is to superintend, and promote the improvement of, the public library service provided by local authorities in England only. Along with the Local Government Association, we have put in place a libraries’ taskforce to provide leadership and to help invigorate the public library service in England.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 26/06/2015 14:01:47 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2015 answer text The Government has not taken any steps to regulate social media providers beyond the basic provision of the criminal law. The open nature of the Internet has been central to its ability to deliver innovative services that consumers want and need, and we believe it is important that this should continue. We do, however, expect social media companies to act responsibly towards their consumers and have encouraged them to put robust processes in place, including having clear and easy to use reporting buttons, and to act promptly when abuse is reported. answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 02/02/2015 14:49:55 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
