Many football clubs have benefited from these measures.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government is in regular dialogue with all the football authorities to understand their financial position - but has been absolutely clear that it expects football to look first at how it can support itself through these difficult times. To this end I welcomed the Premier League announcement to advance funds of £125 million to the EFL and National League to help clubs throughout the football pyramid. The EFL has also announced a £50m relief fund to help their clubs enduring immediate cash flow problems because of the coronavirus crisis.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 03/07/2020 14:21:05 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2020 answer text <p>The government intends to introduce world-leading Online Harms legislation to make the UK the safest place to be online. We intend to establish in law a new duty of care on companies towards their users which will be overseen by an independent regulator. The Government published its Initial Consultation Response to the Online Harms White Paper in February 2020, and this set out our direction of travel on a number of key areas. We are aiming to publish a full government response to the Online Harms White Paper consultation later this year, and this will include more detailed proposals on online harms regulation.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>In addition to this new legislation, it is important to make sure that the criminal law is fit for purpose to deal with online harms. DCMS and the Ministry of Justice have engaged the Law Commission on a second phase of their review of abusive and offensive online communications. The Law Commission will review existing communications offences and make specific recommendations about options for reform, to ensure that criminal law provides consistent and effective protection against such behaviour.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 26/06/2020 15:19:57 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
