answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2022 answer text <p>The safety of spectators at sporting events is of the highest importance to His Majesty’s Government. We continue to work closely with all relevant authorities to ensure that football fans can continue to enjoy the sport whilst attending matches safely.</p><p>This review was commissioned by, and reported to, the English Football Association, with reference made to the Government in four of the recommendations. Our approach with respect to these recommendations is outlined in our evidence to the DCMS Select Committee of the House of Commons’ Inquiry into Safety at Major Sporting Events, a copy of which I will place in the Library.</p><p>The action taken by the Government includes extending football banning orders to cover offences of the selling and taking of Class A drugs at football games (under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022), commissioning the Sports Ground Safety Authority to conduct and act on research about the stewarding capacity in the events sector, and working with numerous relevant parties on issues related to Zone Ex, with a particular focus on issues faced at Wembley. The Government is further considering its role in the oversight and co-ordination of major sporting events to inform a revision of the Gold Framework guidance on UK-level support available when bidding for and staging major sporting events.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 07/11/2022 15:51:43 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what directions they intend to give Ofcom to reduce or abolish standing charges, to ease the financial burden on consumers, particularly the poorest.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2022 answer text <p>Standing charges are not a feature in the telecommunications sector. Fixed broadband and landline suppliers charge a line rental fee which are set out in the terms and conditions that customers agree to when taking out their service.</p><p>We have taken steps to address the affordability concerns of people from low-income households. We have successfully negotiated with providers to introduce a range of low-cost, high-quality social tariffs for as little as £10 for people on Universal Credit and other means-tested benefits. We also secured a set of <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/telecoms-industry-agrees-to-new-cost-of-living-plan-following-government-summit-led-by-digital-secretary-nadine-dorries" target="_blank">commitments </a>from broadband and mobile providers to support people through the global rise in the cost of living. These commitments include more manageable payment plans and allowing households to switch to cheaper packages without penalty.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 07/11/2022 15:52:24 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made, if any, of the actions of the charity Mermaids; and what steps they intend to take as a result of any such assessment.

uin	HL2802
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2022 answer text <p>Protecting people and adhering to safeguarding responsibilities should be a governance priority for all charities. It is a fundamental part of operating as a charity for the public benefit.</p><p>Following concerns raised about Mermaids’ approach to safeguarding young people, the Charity Commission has opened a regulatory compliance case into the charity and has contacted its trustees. The opening of a compliance case is not itself a finding of wrongdoing.</p><p>As an independent regulator, the Charity Commission carries out its functions independent of ministerial or government control. It would therefore not be appropriate to comment further whilst the Charity Commission's investigation is ongoing.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 07/11/2022 15:53:17 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay
