We do recognise that some users are disproportionately affected by online abuse and we are taking action to address unacceptable behaviour online. The Online Harms White Paper, which was published in April this year, sets out the Government's plan to establish a statutory duty of care to make companies take more responsibility for the safety of their users and tackle harm caused by content or activity on their services.</p><p> </p><p>The Law Commission began Phase 2 of their review of abusive and offensive communications online in July 2019. This will review existing communications offences and make specific recommendations about options for reform, to ensure that criminal law provides consistent and effective protection against such behaviour. A final report is expected in early 2021.</p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 07/10/2019 12:46:22 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman

uin	HL17740
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/10/2019 answer text <p>In the 2015 licence fee funding settlement, the government agreed with the BBC that responsibility for the over 75s TV licence fee concession would transfer to the BBC in June 2020. This reform was then debated extensively and agreed to by Parliament during the passage of the Digital Economy Act 2017. This legislation provides that the future of the concession is the responsibility of the BBC, not of the government.</p><p> </p><p>The government remains disappointed with the BBC’s decision to restrict the concession to only those aged over 75 in receipt of Pension Credit. My colleague the Secretary of State for Digital, Media, Culture and Sport recently met with the Chairman of the BBC Board and the Director-General of the BBC and asked them to do more to help those affected by its decision. Discussions continue between government officials and the BBC.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 02/10/2019 12:42:24 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
