answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/05/2016 answer text This Government supports the system of co-regulation and self-regulation, overseen by the independent Advertising Standards Authority and underpinned by consumer protection legislation. This regulatory system is independent of the Government and is ultimately responsible for setting the standards in advertising, ensuring that all adverts, wherever they appear, are legal, decent, honest and truthful. The Government believes the system has worked well, suitably serving consumers and is sufficiently flexible to deal with both technological advances and new evidence. answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 27/05/2016 09:21:49 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

uin	37184
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2016 answer text <p>The vast majority of phone lines across the UK connect to the nearest telephone exchange via a street cabinet, which can be upgraded to deliver fibre broadband. Estimates are not available of the number of premises served by exchange only lines and therefore when they will all have access to fibre broadband. Exchange only lines present a greater engineering challenge to deliver fibre broadband than those connected via street cabinets but technical solutions are available; one solution is to rearrange the existing network, lay new cables to reroute lines to new cabinets - a technique developed as part of the BDUK Superfast Broadband Programme.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 24/05/2016 09:37:42 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
