Within the United Kingdom\u2019s constitutional arrangements, responsibility for legislating on the subject of marriage in relation to Northern Ireland has been devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly and any change in the law is a matter for that Assembly. The situation in Italy is not comparable with the situation in Northern Ireland where civil partnerships are available to same-sex couples. Italy provides no legal recognition of same-sex relationships either through a civil union/registered partnership or through marriage.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4311", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Williams of Trafford"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-07-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-07-31T11:47:25.16Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-07-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Marriage: Northern Ireland"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government whether they intend to take action to secure the right of same-sex couples to marry in Northern Ireland, in the light of the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights on 21 July in Oliari and Others v Italy<\/i>.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2037", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Lester of Herne Hill"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Lester of Herne Hill"} ], "uin" : "HL1794"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/391942", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/391942/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Government\u2019s BBC Charter Review public consultation is open until 8 October and no decisions on the BBC\u2019s Charter are imminent. <\/strong><\/p> <\/strong><\/p> Further to my answer of 20 July to Question HL1072, there is already a range of industry research on the future of television distribution and a wide variety of views about migration to internet protocol distribution of television services. This includes the 'Future of Innovation in Television Technology Report,' which DCMS officials contributed to, and which was published by the cross-television industry Digital Television Group in May 2014.<\/p> <\/p> In May 2014, Ofcom's discussion document \u2018The Future of Free to View TV\u2019, also considered which trends that might make universal distribution of internet protocol television possible. In the statement on the future of 700Mhz spectrum, Ofcom concluded that: 'digital terrestrial television is likely to retain this central role over the next decade, with a full switch to alternative technologies such as IPTV not appearing until at least 2030'.<\/p>"}
