Thanks to the Government’s Living with Covid plan, the success of the vaccination programme and effective risk management by productions during the pandemic, the risk to productions posed by coronavirus has diminished, with no civil authority restrictions in place that require production shutdowns. As a result, the Government is confident it no longer needs to intervene in the market and has closed the scheme to new applications.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 09/06/2022 14:19:29 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/09/2021 answer text <p>The government recognises that as part of a digitally inclusive society, television content should be accessible for all UK audiences. Under the Communications Act 2003, the Secretary of State has the power to impose requirements on service providers for the purpose of ensuring that on demand services are accessible to people with disabilities. This includes requirements in relation to subtitling, audio description and sign language.</p><p>As part of the process to implement these new requirements, the Government asked Ofcom to provide recommendations on how legislation could make on-demand services more accessible. Ofcom published an initial report in December 2018, and then, following a request from DCMS, carried out an additional targeted consultation to inform further recommendations on how the new requirements would work in practice to ensure that as far as possible all audiences should be able to access on-demand services. These latest proposals were published on 9 July 2021. We are giving them careful consideration and will set out next steps in due course.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 23/09/2021 14:43:02 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
