answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2018 answer text As I said in my statement to the House, petition signatures were not counted as direct responses and this is in line with the approach taken by other government consultations - including those on same-sex marriage and the BBC Charter Review. The number of people who signed each petition is clearly set out in our response to the consultation, and their views have been considered fully as part of the Government's deliberations on these issues. answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 08/03/2018 07:50:31 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2018 answer text <p>It is in the interests of both the UK and the European Union to agree the precise terms of the implementation period as quickly as possible, in order to provide vital certainty to businesses, including those in the broadcasting sector.</p><p> </p><p>As the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union has recently stated, we are confident that there is a broad agreement between the UK and the EU positions on the implementation period, and that we will come to an agreement by March. We expect that this should be based on the existing structure of EU rules and regulations, during which the UK and the EU would continue to have access to one another’s markets on current terms. This would indeed cover the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) which governs the pan-EU broadcasting legislation and allows the UK-based broadcasting licensees to broadcast into the EU.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 06/02/2018 15:59:56 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
