	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>The Government published the Social Media Code of Practice in April 2019. This statutory guidance sets out actions that social media platforms should take to prevent bullying, insulting, intimidating and humiliating behaviours on their sites. The Code is also relevant to other sites hosting user-generated content and comments.</p><p> </p><p>While many social media companies will meet some of the standards set out in the Code of Practice, the Government has been clear that voluntary action to date has not gone far enough and there is not enough transparency about the effectiveness of different measures. In April we published the Online Harms White Paper, which set out our plans for world-leading legislation to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online. We intend to establish in law a new duty of care on companies towards their users, overseen by an independent regulator. The new regulatory framework will ensure that there is effective oversight of companies’ action to tackle harmful content online.</p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 21/10/2019 10:23:58 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman

Music venues play a vital role in giving artists the opportunity to hone their craft and enabling them to emerge and flourish.

Sheffield’s Abbeydale Picture House and The Wardrobe in Leeds are just two of the venues benefitting from this support so far.</p><p><strong><br></strong>UK Music published the Sheffield City Region Music Report in 2019 which showed that in 2017, £92m was generated by music tourism and 832,000 people (locals and music tourists) attended music events in the region.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 04/02/2020 10:38:51 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
