The Government is committed to ensuring that the UK is the safest place in the world to be online. In April 2019 we published the Online Harms White Paper which set out our intention to establish in law a new \u2018duty of care\u2019 on companies towards their users. The \u2018duty of care\u2019 will ensure that companies have robust systems and processes in place to tackle illegal content and protect users.<\/p>
We will publish a full government response to the Online Harms White Paper consultation which will provide further detail on our proposals. This will be followed by legislation, which will be ready early next year.<\/p>

The government is clear that Arm is an important part of the UK's technology sector and makes a significant contribution to the UK economy.<\/p>
The Competition and Markets Authority bears responsibility for assessing any competition impacts arising from the proposed deal and it will be following its normal regulatory processes in examining this deal. Separately, the Secretary of State also has the responsibility for determining whether or not to refer an acquisition on public interest grounds if relevant thresholds in the Enterprise Act 2002 are met. As such, we are examining this potential acquisition carefully.<\/p>
We note that it is subject to regulatory approvals in multiple jurisdictions and is not expected to complete until 2022. It would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.<\/p>

July to September 2019, it conducted 2,943 tests<\/p><\/li>

January to March 2020, it conducted 2,512 tests<\/p><\/li>
April to June 2020, it conducted 126 tests. The drop in testing during this period was due to UK Anti-Doping\u2019s decision in March 2020 to significantly reduce its testing programme due to Covid-19.<\/p><\/li>
July to September 2020. The testing statistics for this period have not yet been released.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>
All testing in the first quarter of 2020-2021 (April-June 2020) conducted in the UK was done in England. However, this does not mean that athletes from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales were not tested during this time. UK Anti-Doping publishes its testing figures on a quarterly basis and combines the figures for blood and urine samples.

If attempting testing at an athlete\u2019s home, Doping Control Personnel or \u201cTesters\u201d will check whether anyone present at the athlete\u2019s residence is self-isolating, quarantining or shielding. If so, then this would provide sufficient grounds for UK Anti-Doping not to continue with testing. If testing outside of an athlete\u2019s home, Doping Control Personnel will check the athlete does not have Covid-19, Covid-19 symptoms, or is in an at risk-group before proceeding. UK Anti-Doping has developed a protocol which its Doping Control Personnel are required to follow to determine whether an athlete can be tested. This procedure is in line with the World Anti-Doping Agency\u2019s guidance for resuming testing, and is fully outlined on UK Anti-Doping\u2019s website.<\/p>
Doping Control Personnel also warn the athlete that if they (or anyone else on their behalf) provide any information which is later found to be false, misleading, inaccurate or incomplete they may be committing the Anti-Doping Rule Violation of \u2018Tampering or Attempted Tampering\u2019 which could result in sanctions.<\/p>
So far, there have not been any cases where testing has not proceeded due to self-isolation, quarantining or shielding.<\/p>

The government does not hold the data to answer this question. The samples collected during the London Olympic Games in 2012 were done so under the jurisdiction of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), rather than UK Anti-Doping (the UK\u2019s national anti-doping organisation). As LOCOG no longer exists, it is therefore the IOC that has the ability to reanalyse the samples collected at the Games.

We are aware that many tourism businesses\u2019 trade has been restricted by Government measures to control the spread of Covid-19.<\/p>
We have taken a number of steps to support tourism businesses through this period, including the significant cut to VAT for tourism and hospitality activities until the end of March. Businesses can continue to make use of the Government\u2019s broader support package, including the Bounce Back Loans scheme, the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme and the Job Support Scheme.<\/p>
We have expanded the Job Support Scheme to provide support to businesses whose premises have been legally required to close as a direct result of Covid-19 restrictions set by one or more of the four governments of the UK.<\/p>
We have also announced grants of up to £2,100 per month, primarily for businesses in the hospitality, accommodation and leisure sector who may be adversely impacted by the restrictions in high-alert level areas in England.<\/p>
We are continuing to engage across Government and with stakeholders to assess how we can most effectively support the recovery of tourism across the UK.<\/p>
