answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The Communications Act 2003 already requires broadcasters to ensure that they provide access services on linear TV. These are audio description, subtitling, and sign language services. Ofcom are responsible for administering the Code on Television Access Services which sets out what proportion of programming must have access services. The Digital Economy Act 2017 made provision for regulations to ensure that there are also access services for video on demand players. Ofcom consulted on these proposals this summer and are due to submit their report to the Secretary of State shortly.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 05/11/2018 16:43:41 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The capacity of broadcasters to meet their access service obligations is for Ofcom to assess. Ofcom’s Code requires broadcasters to achieve the highest level of provision that they can afford. Broadcasters are free to over deliver on access services, and Ofcom research shows that many do. The BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky voluntarily commit to providing at least 20% of their programming with audio description, which is double their statutory obligation.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 05/11/2018 16:45:39 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
