answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2019 answer text <p>Advertising in the UK is regulated by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), which enforces the Code of Non-broadcast Advertising and Direct &amp; Promotional Marketing (CAP Code) in non-broadcast media, including online, print, outdoors, video-on-demand, direct marketing and cinema, through a system of self-regulation.</p><p> </p><p>The CAP Code incorporates all relevant legislation, and sets standards for accuracy and honesty to which advertisers must adhere, including specific conditions on advertising to children, causing offence and social responsibility. It is regularly reviewed and updated by the industry to ensure it remains effective, and proposed changes to the Code are routinely subject to public consultation.</p><p> </p><p>The Code includes rules designed to ensure that advertisers do not mislead consumers, reflecting that the ASA is recognised by the government, the courts and Trading Standards as the ‘established means’ for the enforcement of misleading advertising legislation. On the specific issue of subscription traps, the Code also includes rules designed to ensure that advertising for promotions must state all significant conditions likely to affect a consumer’s decision to participate in the promotion. The ASA has also published guidance to advertisers on how to ensure that advertising of free trials and other promotional offer subscription models are compliant with the Code.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 22/10/2019 14:55:50 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2019 answer text <p>The Online Harms White Paper sets out our plans for world-leading legislation to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online. This will make companies more responsible for their users' safety online. We intend to establish in law a new duty of care on companies towards their users, overseen by an independent regulator.</p><p> </p><p>The regulator will publish codes of practice, which will set out in detail the steps that companies should take to fulfill their duty of care. We envisage that, where relevant, companies will ensure their terms and conditions meet standards set by the regulator and reflect the codes of practice as appropriate. Relevant terms and conditions will be required to be sufficiently clear and accessible, including to children and other vulnerable users. The regulator will assess how effectively these terms are enforced as part of any regulatory action.</p><p> </p><p>Ahead of the implementation of the new regulatory framework, we continue to encourage companies to take early action to address online harms.</p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 17/10/2019 13:24:46 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman
