answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2018 answer text <p>I discuss the financial sustainability of sport regularly with UK Sport and other stakeholders: Sport in this country is supported through a mix of exchequer, lottery, commercial, membership-driven and other funding.</p><p> </p><p>UK Sport is committed to ensuring that the impact of its decisions on athletes, staff and sports are carefully and sensitively managed, and will work closely with all sports who, following recent investment decisions, will no longer be in receipt of investment on an appropriate transition plan for athletes and staff. Most recently for the Beijing 2022 investment decisions, UK Sport have made a transition fund of circa £1.5 million available and plans for each sport to access this will be developed in partnership with the relevant home country sports institute.</p><p> </p><p>UK Sport reviews its in-cycle funding decisions every year, as part of its annual reporting requirements. This means that the door remains open to sports where they can demonstrate increased medal potential. UK Sport's Medal Support Plan invests in athletes in otherwise unfunded sports who have had significant and consistent world level success. UK Sport's consultation on their future investment principles post-Tokyo 2020 will engage with stakeholders and the wider public. Sport England lottery and exchequer investment to support grassroots sport and talent remains unaffected by funding decisions made by UK Sport.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 05/09/2018 10:23:45 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

uin	168157
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2018 answer text <p>There are strict controls on the content of all gambling advertisements, including broadcast adverts. Gambling operators who advertise in the UK must comply with the advertising codes, which aim to ensure gambling advertising does not appeal particularly to children or young people or exploit vulnerable people. TV adverts must be pre-cleared by Clearcast and the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) acts on complaints and proactively checks the media to take action against misleading, harmful or offensive advertisements. The Gambling Industry Code for Socially Responsible Advertising requires all TV and print adverts to carry an 18+ or ‘no under 18s’ message.</p><p> </p><p>As with advertising, sponsorship arrangements must be socially responsible and must never be targeted at children. Operators’ logos must not appear on any commercial merchandising which is designed for children, including replica football shirts in children’s sizes.</p><p> </p><p>We considered advertising as part of our Review of Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility and published our response in May. The Review looked at the existing protections around gambling advertising and set out a package of initiatives to strengthen them further. These include tougher guidance from the Committees of Advertising Practice (CAP) on protecting vulnerable people, with further guidance on children and young people due later this year, and tougher sanctions for operators who breach advertising codes.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 05/09/2018 10:00:03 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2018 answer text <p>As part of the UK’s future relationship with the EU, we want to achieve a deal on data protection that provides stability and confidence for EU and UK business, public bodies and individuals, to maintain and develop the UK’s strong trading, economic and security links with the EU. That is why the government recently set out in our White Paper (available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-future-relationship-between-the-united-kingdom-and-the-european-union) that we are ready to begin preliminary discussions on an adequacy assessment, so that a data protection agreement, allowing for the continued protection and exchange of personal data, is in place as soon as possible. Following the UK’s exit from the EU, the government will control the flow of data from the UK to other countries, while the EU will control the flow of data from the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst we are confident that achieving an agreement on adequacy is in the interests of both the UK and the EU, a responsible government should prepare for all potential outcomes. As such, we will continue to engage with organisations that transfer personal data across borders to help them understand how they would need to operate under a range of outcomes on data protection.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 10/09/2018 10:55:14 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
