answer text <p>The Government continues to engage closely with the English Football League about Derby County Football Club. Ultimately, it is for the EFL, the administrator and the club to resolve issues to ensure the survival of Derby County FC, but the government has urged pragmatism from all parties to find a solution for the benefit of fans and the community that the club serves.</p><p>The EFL must equally preserve the integrity of the league on behalf of all member clubs, but all parties want to see one of the founding members of the Football League continue this season and beyond under appropriate ownership.</p><p>The Fan Led Review of Football Governance made proposals directly addressing how to prevent clubs ending up in such difficult financial situations. We have endorsed in principle the primary recommendation of the review, that football requires a strong, independent regulator to secure the future of our national game. The Government is now working at pace to determine the most effective way to deliver an independent regulator, and any powers that might be needed.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The operation of the National Lottery and the distribution of good cause income are two separate processes. Camelot, as the current operator of the National Lottery, has no involvement with or responsibility for the distribution of good cause income raised by the National Lottery.</p><p>Good cause income is distributed at arm’s length of the government by 12 Lottery Distributing Bodies, to fund projects in the arts, sport and heritage sectors and to support communities and charities across the whole of the United Kingdom.</p><p>Since 1994, the National Lottery has raised over £45 billion for good causes. Over 660,000 individual grants have been awarded since the National Lottery started - the equivalent of more than 235 lottery grants in every UK postcode district. More detailed information about National Lottery grants can be found at the National Lottery grants database <a href="https://www.lottery.culture.gov.uk/" target="_blank">website</a>. Due to technical limitations, this database does not incorporate more recent National Lottery grant data. We hope to have this resolved in the Spring.</p><p>Camelot publishes aggregated National Lottery sales data two months in arrears on their <a href="https://www.camelotgroup.co.uk/about-us/reporting/" target="_blank">website</a>. More granular data, for example analysed by region, not published due to commercial sensitivities.</p>

answer text <p>Ofcom’s reforms of the BT Group’s governance structures in 2016 and 2017 were designed to address concerns that Openreach’s decisions were favouring BT and insufficiently considering the needs of other operators. Ofcom has since established the Openreach Monitoring Unit to monitor Openreach’s compliance with these reforms and publishes a report each year. The most recent report from December 2021 is available on Ofcom’s website <a href="https://www.ofcom.org.uk/phones-telecoms-and-internet/information-for-industry/telecoms-competition-regulation/the-openreach-monitoring-unit" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>The government has not taken steps to mandate BT’s use of other networks, and as a commercial internet service provider, it is for BT to choose where to deploy its services and over which networks it chooses to offer these services.</p> more like this
