answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2018 answer text <p>The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is the UK's independent regulator of advertising. It recently reviewed the use of the term ‘fibre’ to describe part-fibre and full-fibre broadband and concluded in November 2017 that the term 'fibre' is unlikely to mislead consumers as currently used in the advertising of part-fibre broadband services. Permission for judicial review of this ASA's decision has been granted by the Administrative Court.</p><p> </p><p>On 23 May 2018, the ASA has also implemented a new guidance on broadband speeds advertisement stating that speed claims should now be based on the download speeds available to at least 50% of customers at peak time, and no more on 'up to' speeds available to at least 10% of customers. Ofcom has also updated its Code of Practice on Broadband Speeds recently.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 05/09/2018 10:07:45 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

Most recently for the Beijing 2022 investment decisions, UK Sport have made a transition fund of circa £1.5 million available and plans for each sport to access this will be developed in partnership with the relevant home country sports institute.</p><p> </p><p>UK Sport reviews its in-cycle funding decisions every year, as part of its annual reporting requirements. This means that the door remains open to sports where they can demonstrate increased medal potential. UK Sport's Medal Support Plan invests in athletes in otherwise unfunded sports who have had significant and consistent world level success. UK Sport's consultation on their future investment principles post-Tokyo 2020 will engage with stakeholders and the wider public. Sport England lottery and exchequer investment to support grassroots sport and talent remains unaffected by funding decisions made by UK Sport.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 05/09/2018 10:23:45 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

uin	168157
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2018 answer text <p>There are strict controls on the content of all gambling advertisements, including broadcast adverts. Gambling operators who advertise in the UK must comply with the advertising codes, which aim to ensure gambling advertising does not appeal particularly to children or young people or exploit vulnerable people. TV adverts must be pre-cleared by Clearcast and the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) acts on complaints and proactively checks the media to take action against misleading, harmful or offensive advertisements. The Gambling Industry Code for Socially Responsible Advertising requires all TV and print adverts to carry an 18+ or ‘no under 18s’ message.</p><p> </p><p>As with advertising, sponsorship arrangements must be socially responsible and must never be targeted at children. Operators’ logos must not appear on any commercial merchandising which is designed for children, including replica football shirts in children’s sizes.</p><p> </p><p>We considered advertising as part of our Review of Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility and published our response in May. The Review looked at the existing protections around gambling advertising and set out a package of initiatives to strengthen them further. These include tougher guidance from the Committees of Advertising Practice (CAP) on protecting vulnerable people, with further guidance on children and young people due later this year, and tougher sanctions for operators who breach advertising codes.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 05/09/2018 10:00:03 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
