	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p><ins class="ministerial">The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has had no such discussions. National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs) are not public bodies, and as such are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. NGBs are typically independent, self-appointed organisations that govern their sports through the common consent of their sport. Transparency is an important principal of good governance, and is reflected in our Code for Sport Governance, with which all bodies in receipt of UK Sport or Sport England funding must now demonstrate compliance. </ins></p><p><del class="ministerial">The cross-Government sport strategy ‘Sporting Future’ set out our intention to encourage as many people and groups to enjoy sport as participants, spectators and in the workforce, including the LGBT community. It also includes a number of other actions to ensure that all under-represented groups can take part in sport and wider physical activity through a focus on local delivery, and working with people through volunteering, coaching and the sporting workforce. Our aim is to increase diversity among sporting organisations and help the sport sector to be more inclusive and welcoming to all.</del></p><p> </p><p><del class="ministerial">Government continues to work with Sport England and National Governing Bodies of sport, alongside organisations including Pride Sports, Stonewall, and Kick it Out on a number of anti-homophobia initiatives aimed at encouraging inclusion. In March, Sport England commissioned Pride Sports to produce a second in depth report on barriers to LGBT participation. This research on volunteering, provision and attitudes and behaviours has been completed, and Sport England is currently considering what actions they will take based on the findings.</del></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 16/10/2017 15:53:50 question first ministerially corrected 16/10/2017 21:11:27 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch previous answer version 14960 answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p>The cancellation of services without consumer consent is prohibited and is a matter for Ofcom. Ofcom requires companies to get customer permission and consent to cancel and specifies the type of information that needs to be made available to the customer before this can take place. Ofcom also places a requirement on companies to keep records of the customer’s consent to cancel their service for 12 months.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to these strict requirements, Ofcom has imposed several important safeguards within the current cancellation process to minimise the opportunity for error to occur, including a requirement that the company must write to the customer letting them know of the imminent cancellation of their phone line before the cancellation can happen. The customer then has a 10-day period in which to stop the cancellation going ahead if they change their mind, or if there has been a mistake.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 16/10/2017 15:27:20 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p>The cyber security of the UK, including the protection of our citizens and their data online, is a top priority for the Government. Since the Equifax incident, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the National Crime Agency, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Information Commissioner’s Office have worked together to protect British citizens who may have been affected by the data breach. The NCSC has published updated advice on its website, advising members of the public on password re-use, avoiding related phishing emails and fraudulent phone calls, as well as giving information of how to report a cyber incident to Action Fraud. In addition, as part of our five-year, £1.9 billion National Cyber Security Strategy, the Government is working to ensure all organisations are secure online and resilient against cyber threats.</p><p> </p><p>Under the existing Data Protection Act, organisations must ensure appropriate cyber security measures are in place to protect personal data. Our new data protection regime, introduced through the Data Protection Bill, will introduce new requirements for reporting data breaches and more stringent fines.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 16/10/2017 16:08:38 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
