question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have held with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) over its role in enforcing any judgment it makes; what consideration they have given to moving the ASA onto a statutory basis; and what research they have undertaken on the impact of the ASA on consumers, particularly in cases where complaints are upheld.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>Advertising in the UK is regulated by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), which enforces the Advertising Codes through a system of self-regulation and co-regulation with Ofcom. This regulatory system is independent of government and is ultimately responsible for setting the standards in advertising.</p><p> </p><p>The Advertising Codes incorporate all relevant legislation and set standards for accuracy and honesty to which advertisers must adhere, including specific conditions on advertising to children, causing offence and social responsibility. The Codes are regularly reviewed and updated by the industry to ensure they remain effective, and proposed changes to the Codes are routinely subject to public consultation.</p><p> </p><p>UK broadcasters are required by a condition of their broadcast licences to enforce ASA rulings, and any who refuse to comply with these rulings risk being referred to Ofcom, which can impose fines and even withdraw broadcast licences. In non-broadcast media, the ASA has a range of sanctions it can take in cases of non-compliance, and as a last resort can refer advertisers to Trading Standards, where there has been a breach of consumer law.</p><p> </p><p>That said, we recognise that online advertising presents a number of unique challenges, which is why we announced a review earlier this year, which will consider this system in the round.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 05/11/2019 13:55:54 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2019 answer text <p>The Government announced plans to raise sales and prize limits for large society lotteries in July 2019. The timeframe to introduce the new annual turnover limit is subject to the requirement for 1) the affirmative procedure of introducing secondary legislation and 2) the Gambling Commission to consult on changes to their Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP). Taking these requirements into account we expect this change to come into force during 2020.
