answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2020 answer text <p>We warmly welcome the agreement between Israel, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. This is an historic step which sees the normalisation of relations between three great friends of the UK. We welcome both the decision to normalise relations, as well as the suspension of plans for annexation - a move the UK has opposed as it would have been counterproductive to securing peace in the region. The UK is committed to making progress towards a two-state solution and is strongly supportive of a regional approach to peace. We profoundly hope that this moment can be used as a step towards direct talks between Israel and the Palestinians.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 30/09/2020 14:11:07 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2019 answer text <p>We have seen great improvements in press regulation with the formation of IPSO and Impress, which have the power to hold publications to account, including ordering prominent corrections. Both regulators are independent of government and enforce Codes of Practice, which include provisions on privacy and intrusion. They both operate free complaints handling systems and low cost arbitration schemes.</p><p> </p><p>Ofcom, as the independent broadcast regulator, sets rules for broadcasters to meet in its Broadcasting Code.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2019 answer text <p>Government organisations work collaboratively to address misleading websites. Websites that directly attempt to defraud users (for example, by copying government design and logos) are tackled directly and taken down.</p><p>Sites can be challenged through the company that sold them the web address, or through organisations that administer the web address system. Government may also pursue site owners through trading standards bodies or through direct legal challenge.</p><p>Some sites are able to operate within legal boundaries (for example, by displaying disclaimers on their sites). In these cases, government works to optimise government sites for indexing by search engines so they are easy to find. Where identified, we challenge sites that pay for prominent positioning in search returns by reporting them to the search provider.</p> answering member constituency Hertsmere answering member printed Oliver Dowden question first answered 26/07/2019 13:53:35 answering member 4441 label Biography information for Oliver Dowden
