content. It is for the parties involved to decide whether to follow the procedures
specified, which are not obligatory. No information is held on how the provisions
have been used in the case of individual website operators.</p><p>The Ministry of
Justice intends to carry out a post-implementation review of the working of the Act
and the Regulations in 2019. The Government has no plans to invite Ofcom to carry
out a review of the Regulations.</p>
