Through the Digital Economy Act 2017, the provision of access services (subtitling, signing and audio description) is being extended to on demand services. Ofcom is in the process of consulting to determine the requirements that providers of on-demand programme services will be required to meet which will then be set out by the Secretary of State.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 09/02/2018 13:27:51 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
