answer text <p>The Government takes all attempts to deliberately disrupt and confuse the information environment very seriously. It is difficult to attribute the slight decline in uptake of the MMR vaccinations to any one source, however, we will work with our colleagues in the Department of Health and Social Care and Public Health England to assess the impact that disinformation and manipulation of social and traditional media may have on this issue.</p> more like this

answer text <p>As set out in the Brexit White Paper, we cannot be part of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) if we are not part of the EU. As a result, the Country of Origin principle, which allows audiovisual services to obtain a broadcasting licence in one Member State for all their channels and services across the EU, will no longer apply. We have shared relevant information for businesses in the Technical Notice for Broadcasting and video-on-demand if there's no Brexit deal which is available here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/broadcasting-and-video-on-demand-if-theres-no-brexit-deal/broadcasting-and-video-on-demand-if-theres-no-brexit-deal], published in September 2018.</p><p> </p><p>The details of the future relationship between the EU and the UK on broadcasting depends on the exit negotiations, and we are committed to seek the best possible arrangement for broadcasting that will work for UK businesses and audiences.</p><p> </p> more like this
