tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL3132
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2024 answer text <p>The Gambling Commission, Great Britain’s statutory regulator, continues to monitor industry developments in artificial intelligence, informed by the expertise of its Digital Advisory Panel. This includes the exploration and consideration of the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning by gambling operators, and engagement with the industry better to understand their uses of AI. The Gambling Commission will continue to increase its capacity and capability to deploy data science in its regulation through the formation of a new Data Innovation Hub.</p><p>All gambling operators which provide gambling services to customers in Great Britain must be licensed by the Gambling Commission, and must comply with its codes of practice. The social responsibility code requires them to have and to put into effect policies and procedures to promote socially responsible gambling. These should reduce the risk of, and seek to identify those struggling with, problem gambling. The Gambling Commission has the power to remove an operating licence where a gambling business is deploying AI in a manner that undermines the statutory licensing objectives and duties.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 19/03/2024 17:27:32 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay

tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL1006
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2023 answer text <p>His Majesty’s Government understands that the cost of living is affecting many civil society organisations, which are seeing increased demand as well as higher running costs. That is why, in the Budget this Spring, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced a package of over £100 million for charities and community organisations across England.</p><p>This funding is split into two strands and is supporting organisations in need right now. The £76 million Community Organisations Cost of Living Fund has closed for applications, and is awarding funding to frontline organisations supporting vulnerable people and households.</p><p>The second strand, the £25.5 million Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise Energy Efficiency Scheme, is now open for applications. Eligible frontline organisations can first apply for an independent energy assessment, and can then apply for a capital grant of between £2,000 and £150,000 to install capital energy measures. Applications for assessments are now open, and applications for capital funding will be open from January 2024. More information can be found at <a href="http://www.groundwork.org.uk/vcseenergyefficiency" target="_blank">www.groundwork.org.uk/vcseenergyefficiency</a>.</p><p>HM Government is also supporting all organisations, including civil society ones, with their energy bills until March 2024 through the Energy Bills Discount Scheme.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 11/12/2023 16:31:25 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay

tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL7484
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2023 answer text <p>Festivals are a vital part of the British cultural landscape, with the sector delivering highly valued cultural and economic activity across the UK. The UK’s festival sector is a world leader with festivals such as Glastonbury, Reading, and the Hay Festival of Literature and Arts all globally renowned.</p><p>We recognise that there are issues facing the festival sector, in common with other sectors, as a result of rising inflation and energy prices. We work closely with the sector and across Government to improve its economic resilience, as we did through the pandemic, and with the recent £18 billion Energy Bills Support Scheme.</p><p>We are pleased that the sector has reported a huge increase in availability and uptake of payment plans to festivals, with audiences able to pay by instalments each month. Festivals have also increased the number of months over which payment plans operate, helping to stretch out and reduce monthly amounts in order to maximise uptake.</p><p>The Department for Culture, Media and Sport continues to engage regularly with representatives of the live music sector, including organisations representing festivals, to understand the impact of the rising cost of living and other pressures. In March, for example, the Secretary of State held a round-table meeting with representatives from across the live music sector to hear their concerns directly, to inform the Department's future work.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 12/05/2023 11:31:07 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay

These rounds provided support to 12 projects across the country. The successful recipients of the £32.4 million third round of the Fund will be announced in Spring 2023. Round 1 of the Libraries Improvement Fund is also investing £5 million in 25 library services to upgrade their buildings and technology.</p><p>The Government has also invested £95 million in Historic England’s High Street Heritage Action Zones scheme, which targets 67 high streets across England to encourage economic growth and increase pride in place. Additionally, the £82 million Museum Estate and Development Fund, an open-access capital fund for non-national accredited museums in England, provides funding to undertake vital infrastructure and urgent maintenance backlogs. In round one of the project in 2022, a total of £18.8 million was awarded to 31 museums. Additionally, in 2022-24, the £4 million DCMS/Wolfson Museums and Galleries Improvement Fund will continue to invest in the display and accessibility of collections across England, taking to £52 million the amount invested since the programme was created in 2002.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 16/03/2023 15:47:23 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay
