answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>All providers of age verification (AV) services must comply with data protection laws. In addition, ahead of the introduction of mandatory age verification on online pornography sites, the regulator, the British Board for Film Classifcation, has created a voluntary certification scheme, the Age-verification Certificate (AVC), which will assess the data security standards of AV providers. Age verification solutions which offer these robust data protection conditions will be certified following an independent assessment and will carry the BBFC's new green 'AV' symbol. Details will also be published on the BBFC’s age-verification website, ageverificationregulator.com.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 13/05/2019 11:35:23 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>In the Civil Service, a ‘secondment’ is a transfer to an external organisation, whereas the movement of staff to another Government department is usually referred to as a loan. We do not hold information centrally on the host departments of all secondees/loans from our department. However, we do hold a record of some employees on loan for whom we had to retrieve salary costs over the last 3 years:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Department for Exiting the European Union</p></td><td><p>Department for International Trade</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019 (to present)</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 13/05/2019 11:47:32 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
