answer text <p>The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the new Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) strengthen standards on data protection, ensuring they are up to date for the modern age. The GDPR allows the Information Commissioner to impose fines up to £18 million or 4% of global turnover. These are significantly higher fines than were available under the Data Protection Act 1998 where the maximum fine that could be imposed was £500,000. We will continue to work with the Commissioner to monitor and evaluate the impact of the fines over the months and years ahead.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department regularly discusses with housing developers how high speed broadband connectivity can be delivered to new housing developments.</p><p> </p><p>In early 2016, DCMS brokered an agreement between Openreach and the Home Builders Federation (HBF) so that all new build developments would be offered with Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) for free, or as part of a co-funded initiative. This agreement - between the largest home builders organisation, whose members contribute approximately 80% of all private new homes in England and Wales, and the largest network provider - continues to be refined and improved, with input from DCMS. Originally, the threshold was for developments of 250 units or above, then lowered to 100, and is 30 today. Virgin Media and GTC - another infrastructure provider - have similar agreements with the HBF.</p><p> </p><p>Rural connectivity is a priority and my officials are working with Defra, MHCLG and industry stakeholders to ensure that high quality digital connectivity reaches all areas of the UK.</p><p> </p><p>My Department’s Barrier Busting Task Force continue to engage with the HBF and other house builders and further to this are exploring policy options that will make provisions for ultrafast broadband to be standard in all new homes, ensuring that residents receive the connectivity they deserve.</p>

answer text <p>Football clubs face many challenges in maintaining their facilities, supporting participation and fulfilling many other important community roles.</p><p> </p><p>Through the Football Foundation, jointly funded by the DCMS, The Football Association and the Premier League over £595 million in grants have been provided for community clubs to help create new changing rooms, playing surfaces and stadia improvements since its inception in 2000.</p><p> </p><p>Football clubs and their supporters can also take advantage of the powers contained within the Localism Act 2011 to list their stadiums as Assets of Community Value. Nearly 40 stadiums are currently listed.</p><p> </p><p>Clubs remain an important part of local communities and DCMS will continue to work with the football authorities and influential fan groups like Supporters Direct to help provide support to community clubs. As the Minister for Sport set out most recently during an adjournment debate on the 16 March, she will be asking the Football Association to carry out a review into what further protection might be offered to football clubs at all levels of the game.</p>
