answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>There is currently no central Government funding to help small and medium-sized businesses achieve Cyber Essentials certification. However, the scheme was designed to be suitable for organisations of all sizes in all sectors; and particularly for small and medium-sized businesses. Any organisation can use the advice for free and implement the scheme themselves. For those that want a certificate, the cost - which is set by the market - starts at around £300.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 03/12/2018 17:09:19 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2018 answer text <p>DCMS requested advice from the Gambling Commission on potential reforms to society lotteries following the publication of the Select Committee’s report in March 2015. The Gambling Commission were asked to make recommendations considering three high level objectives:</p><p> </p><ol><li>The regulatory framework for society lotteries should not be overly burdensome and new entrants should not face unnecessary barriers;</li></ol><p> </p><ol start="2"><li>Public trust and confidence in society lotteries and the good causes with which they are associated should be maintained;</li></ol><p> </p><ol start="3"><li>Reform should not jeopardise the position of the National Lottery and its returns to good causes.</li></ol><p> </p><p>This advice was published in June 2018 alongside the consultation on society lotteries which closed on 7 September 2018.</p><p> </p><p>Evidence from the Gambling Commission suggests that to date society lottery sales have not significantly impacted the National Lottery. Any changes must maintain this balance, enabling society lotteries to grow without detriment to the National Lottery.</p><p> </p><p>The consultation received over 1,600 responses and my officials are now in the process of considering the range of views that were submitted, including evidence about the potential impact on the National Lottery. I hope to formally respond to the consultation in the first half of 2019.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 05/12/2018 16:08:28 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

Unfortunately, as flag flying is now deregulated, DCMS does not hold records on the flying of flags by other government departments, other than on the designated days for flying the Union Flag.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 05/12/2018 11:07:05 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
