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.

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>

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>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4284", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Neville-Rolfe"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-07-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-07-29T09:44:24.28Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-07-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Television: Internet"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Neville-Rolfe on 20 July (HL1072), in the light of imminent decisions regarding the BBC's Charter, why they have made no estimate of when television will be delivered predominantly across the internet.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1980", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Inglewood"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Inglewood"} ], "uin" : "HL1705"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/391961", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/391961/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We are taking action to increase the numbers of women at senior levels in a wide range of roles and sectors. There are now no all-male boards in the FTSE 100. Women now account for 25.3% of FTSE 100 directors, which is up from 12.5% in February 2011.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are working through the Women's Business Council (WBC) to drive this culture change, raising girls' aspirations through Your Life campaign and removing as many barriers as we can to enable women to thrive in their chosen careers.<\/p>

<\/p>

The WBC focuses on supporting women to progress and fulfil their potential in the workplace including the female executive pipeline. Our policies are also supporting this \u2013 flexible working, introduction of shared parental leave and support to the costs of childcare.<\/p>

<\/p>

Many companies are now committed to building the pipeline of female talent from the bottom up by setting measurable targets, helping to create more family friendly workplaces and addressing bias in hiring, promotion and talent identification. Through the WBC, we are engaging more men in this debate to be the champions of women in their organisation addressing issues such as these.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

We want to see many more female role models working in all sectors to help attract a wider pool of female candidates, particularly in traditionally male dominated sectors, as well as the lessons from the Lord Davies review extend to all professions including the investment sector.<\/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" : "2015-07-31T11:47:02.233Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-07-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Females: Financial Services"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government, in the light of the recent remarks by the Minister for Women and Equalities, how they respond to the reports that only one in 10 fund managers is a woman.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1796", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Taylor of Warwick"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Taylor of Warwick"} ], "uin" : "HL1724"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/392004", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/392004/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Women from black and minority ethnic backgrounds make a vital contribution to the country's economic growth, but too many women are still unable to fulfil their potential. This is why the Prime Minister announced that the Government aims to close the gender pay gap in a generation.<\/p>

<\/p>

To create a fair society in which everyone is able to fully contribute, regardless of their gender, race or background, the Government is; introducing the living wage, extending the right to request flexible working to all employees, rolling out shared parental leaving and increasing the support available for childcare costs.<\/p>

<\/p>

Business has a key role to play as well, which is why the Government is asking employers with over 250 employees to publish the difference between the pay of their male and female employees. We are currently consulting on how best to do this.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

More widely, our 2020 Vision initiative sets out ambitious but realistic aspirations to help people from all our communities really thrive. We want to increase the number of people from black and ethnic minorities in higher education and work, particularly in the professions, by 20 per cent by 2020. We also want to see our BME communities producing 20% of new recruits for the police and the army by then.<\/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" : "2015-07-31T11:46:20.567Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-07-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Females: Ethnic Groups"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government what assessment they have made of the economic contribution made by women of Black and Minority Ethnic background.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1827", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Uddin"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Uddin"} ], "uin" : "HL1767"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/392014", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/392014/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Department holds no annual breakdowns of information about betting industry payments to racing by way of media rights. The Economic Impact of British Racing 2013<\/em> (Deloitte) notes that relevant media companies received a total income of £153m in 2012 compared with £104m in 2008 (p.12). After deducting media companies\u2019 operating costs, £88m of this was paid to the racecourses in 2012 (2008: £57m).<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department holds no annual breakdowns of information about betting industry payments to racing by way of sponsorship. The total amount of sponsorship received by racing in 2012, from all sources, amounted to £38.6m, of which £31m went to racecourses. 41% of sponsored races were sponsored by betting companies (up from 37% in 2005). The total prize money of those races was £31.8m, but not all of this can be attributed to contributions from the betting industry (The Economic Impact of British Racing 2013<\/em> p.44).<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3950", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Chatham and Aylesford"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Tracey Crouch"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-07-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-07-28T15:04:39.157Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-07-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Horse Racing: Prize Money"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what information his Department holds on the total prize money dispersed in horse racing in each of the last five years; and what estimate he has made of how much the betting industry has contributed to horse racing through (a) levy payments, (b) media rights and (c) sponsorship in each of the last five years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1565", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Philip Davies"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Shipley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Philip Davies"} ], "uin" : "7767"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&answeringDeptId=10&max-answer.questionFirstAnswered.=2015-08-04T09%3A00%3A29.107Z", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 1673, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
