answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2022 answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Government has noted the report and its findings.</p><p>Regarding the report's findings on press regulations, Her Majesty’s Government is committed to a free and independent media. It is not appropriate for Her Majesty’s Government to arbitrate on what should or should not be published or broadcast. Ofcom is the UK’s independent regulator of television services. The Ofcom Broadcasting Code covers standards in programmes and has rules to ensure that broadcast news is reported with due accuracy and impartiality. There exists an independent self regulatory regime to ensure that the press adheres to a wider set of clear and appropriate standards, and to offer individuals a means of redress where these are not met.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 18/05/2022 13:35:10 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay
