There is a robust regulatory regime in place that ensures that appropriate payment systems have regulatory oversight from a financial stability and a competition perspective.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Banking Act 2009 gives the Treasury the power to specify any inter-bank payment systems to be within the scope of oversight of the Bank of England where disruption to these systems could threaten the stability of the UK financial system, or have serious consequences for business or other interests in the UK.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government intends to further strengthen the framework for regulatory oversight through an amendment made to the Digital Economy Bill. This will broaden the types of payment systems that HM Treasury can designate for supervision by the Bank of England to include non-bank payment systems, such as a digital currency network. This will ensure that the Treasury and the Bank of England can respond in a prompt and appropriate manner should a non-bank payment system grow rapidly and become systemically important. There are no such systems at present that the Treasury would wish to specify for supervision.<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition to this, in April 2015 a new Payment Systems Regulator was launched as the economic regulator for the UK\u2019s payment systems industry, with the objectives of promoting competition, innovation and the interest of end users in the sector.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3929", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Simon Kirby"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Brighton, Kemptown"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Simon Kirby"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-11-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-11-03T08:55:07.63Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "CaTreasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-10-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Financial Services: ICT"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the Government's policy is on oversight of globally operating electronic payment systems using virtual UK places of business.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4468", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Roger Mullin"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Roger Mullin"} ], "uin" : "51161"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/625882", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/625882/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Government recognises the importance of sport and physical activity to disabled people. Our sport strategy, 'Sporting Future: A New Strategy for an Active Nation', published in December 2015, emphasises the importance of getting people active, particularly those groups currently under-represented, including disabled people. We also broadened Sport England's remit to be responsible for children's sport outside school from the age of five, to help people receive the best possible experience of sport and to build physical literacy and a positive attitude to sport and physical activity.<\/p>

<\/p>

Sport England published its own strategy, Towards an Active Nation on 19 May, which sets out how it intends to deliver against the government\u2019s sport strategy. This includes a specific focus on disabled people, who are less likely to regularly take part in physical activity. It will invest more on children, including disabled children, from the age of five to help them develop a sporting habit for life.<\/p>

The Defence Intelligence civilian workforce has some 1,425 people, comprising 915 men (64%) and 510 women (36%).<\/p>

Recording ethnicity across the Department is voluntary and within Defence Intelligence about 255 (some 18%) of civilian staff chose not to declare if they were from a BAME background. Those who declared as BAME number some 60, or about 5%. This compares favourably to the wider MOD figure of some 4%.<\/p>
