answer text <p>The Department does not hold information on how long drivers in reported road accidents held their licence for. The Department collects data on personal injury road accidents reported to the police, including contributory factors which the police identify when they attend the scene. This does not assign blame for the accident but gives an indication of factors the attending officer thought contributed to the accident.

answer text <p>The 2017 Digital Strategy set out that Government would work with regulators and industry to ensure that the advertising of broadband reflects the speeds that consumers can expect to receive and accurately describes the technology used.</p><p> </p><p>Since the Digital Strategy was published, the ASA has implemented new guidance, which states that speed claims should be based on the download speeds available to at least 50% of customers at peak time, and no longer on 'up to' speeds available to at least 10% of customers.

As set out in the Answer of 10 September 2018 to Question 167873, the ASA 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.
