uin	241433
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2019 answer text <p>The dormant assets scheme has already distributed over £600m for the benefit of good causes. The Dormant Assets Commission, which reported on the feasibility of expanding the scheme in 2017, estimated that there may be up to £2bn of additional dormant assets that could be transferred into the scheme. This could significantly increase the quantity of funds available for good causes across the country.</p><p> </p><p>Building on the work of the Commission, and supported by HMT and DCMS, four senior industry leaders published a blueprint in April 2019 for broadening the scheme to include assets from the insurance and pensions, investment and wealth management, and securities sectors. Quantifying dormancy was not within the scope of this work.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 10/04/2019 15:13:55 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

uin	241420
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2019 answer text <p>All operators providing gambling facilities to consumers in Great Britain must be licensed by the Gambling Commission and comply with licence conditions, which include the protection of vulnerable people from being harmed or exploited by gambling. Operators are required to prevent underage gambling, to intervene when a customer shows signs of being at risk of harm and to offer the facility to self-exclude. Online operators must also offer a ‘time out’ facility and can make other tools available to help players manage their gambling, such as setting time or spend limits.</p><p> </p><p>In May last year the Government published its response to the Consultation on proposals for changes to Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility Measures, which set out a comprehensive package to strengthen protections across all forms of gambling, including online. Next month, the Gambling Commission will bring in new rules requiring operators to complete age and identity verification before consumers can deposit money and gamble, or play free-to-play demo games.</p><p> </p><p>The Gambling Commission is also currently consulting on proposals to strengthen the requirement for operators to interact with consumers who may be experiencing gambling related harm. They are also reviewing whether gambling online with credit cards should be restricted, and will explore the potential consequences of doing so.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 12/04/2019 08:54:42 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government is introducing a broadband Universal Service Obligation (USO) to meet our manifesto commitment that by 2020 everyone across the UK will have access to high speed broadband.</p><p> </p><p>The USO will be a minimum of 10 Megabits per second, from a designated provider, up to a reasonable cost threshold. We will keep the speed and quality parameters under review to make sure that it keeps pace with consumers' evolving needs.</p><p> </p>The proportion of households that have high speed broadband will also depend on whether occupiers of those premises choose to take advantage of the service when it is available to them. For example, Ofcom figures from its 2018 Connected Nations report, shows that whilst 98% of UK premises have access to high speed broadband, only 65% of premises actually choose to take a service that delivers it.<p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 09/04/2019 16:22:07 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
