question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer on 27 January by Lord Gardiner of Kimble (HL4359), whether the introduction of retransmission fees could be beneficial to the creative industry if money generated from retransmission fees was used in original United Kingdom programming.
tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL4539
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2015 answer text <p>Currently public services broadcasters are not able to charge cable operators for the retransmission of their PSB services. This is an area where many competing interests – particularly those of broadcasters, platforms, and of viewers - must be balanced. Government is going to consult on whether the time is right to remove section 73 of the Copyright, Design and Patents Act, and whether this allows PSBs to invest more in high-quality content. But rather than doing so in isolation, we will be looking at this in the wider context, examining the framework of regulation that governs the balance of payments between broadcasters and platforms and rates surrounding EPG prominence.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 03/02/2015 14:32:41 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

uin	HL4359
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2015 answer text <p>The Government will be publishing a consultation document in due course examining the current balance of payments between broadcasters and platforms and the prominence of PSBs on Electronic Programme Guides. The Connectivity, Consumers &amp; Content strategy paper set out the Government’s ambition for “zero net fees”, and a lot of progress has been made towards reaching that goal. However we want to examine whether the amount of regulation around these transactions is really necessary, to ensure broadcasters can deliver the highest quality content, at the best possible price, to the widest possible audience.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 27/01/2015 14:46:57 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
