answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2023 answer text <p>This Government is committed to defending the invaluable role of a free media. This is vital to a strong and fully functioning democracy where the powerful can be held to account.</p><p>Ofcom is the UK’s independent broadcasting regulator. In particular, it is required by legislation, and accountable to Parliament, to draw up and enforce a Broadcasting Code for television to ensure that audiences are adequately protected from harm. It is for Ofcom to determine whether there has been a breach of the Broadcasting Code, and whether to take action. In making any decision, Ofcom is required by the Communications Act 2003 to strike a balance between ensuring an appropriate level of freedom of expression and adequate protection from harmful material. It would not be appropriate for the Government to assess their effectiveness in this regard.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Sir John Whittingdale question first answered 25/10/2023 08:53:28 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2023 answer text <p>5G was first launched in 2019, and while most 5G sites are focused around busy urban areas, we’re now seeing coverage extending into smaller towns. Basic, non-standalone, 5G is now available outside 85% of UK premises.</p><p>The Wireless Infrastructure Strategy, published earlier this year, announced the Government’s vision for wireless connectivity and shared a new ambition for nationwide coverage of higher quality, standalone 5G in all populated areas by 2030. We are providing a long-term ambition to help the private sector invest in 5G networks by supporting competition, driving down deployment costs and driving the take-up of innovative, 5G-enabled tech by the business and public sectors.</p><p>The Department provides extensive guidance for local authorities and operators to help facilitate broadband and mobile deployment through the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/digital-connectivity-portal" target="_blank">Digital Connectivity Portal</a>. We have also taken steps to make it easier and cheaper for operators to deploy 5G. This includes reforming the planning system in England. Alongside this, measures within the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022, will support upgrades of sites to 5G.</p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Sir John Whittingdale question first answered 25/10/2023 13:04:07 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale
