	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2020 answer text <p>As the government announced on 16 October last year, we will not be commencing Part 3 of the Digital Economy Act 2017 and its provisions on age verification for online pornography. Instead the online harms regime will include provisions to protect children from inappropriate content, including online pornography. The requirement for a report on the impact and effectiveness of the regulatory framework set out in Section 29 of the Digital Economy Act 2017 will therefore not be brought into force.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 22/06/2020 11:27:01 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
