uin	282391
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>Islamophobia is completely unacceptable and has no place in our society. The Online Harms White Paper sets out our plans for world-leading legislation to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online, by making companies more responsible for their users’ safety online. We will establish in law a new duty of care on companies towards their users, overseen by an independent regulator. Companies will be held to account for tackling a comprehensive set of online harms, and hate crime is one of the harms in scope of these proposals. We will continue to work closely with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, which has the cross-government lead on countering Islamophobia, as this policy is developed.</p><p> </p><p>It is also important that the criminal law is fit for purpose to deal with online harms. The Law Commission has recently started the second phase of its review of abusive and offensive online communications, which will review existing communications offences and make specific recommendations about options for legal reform in a final report in 2021. In parallel, the Law Commission is looking into the adequacy of protection offered by hate crime legislation, and this strand of work is expected to report in 2020.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 03/09/2019 12:44:02 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2019 answer text <p>In the 2015 funding settlement, we agreed with the BBC that responsibility for the concession will transfer to the BBC in June 2020. The BBC's Director General, Lord Hall, said after the settlement in 2015: &quot;the government's decisions to put the cost of the over-75's on us has been more than matched by the deal coming back for the BBC.&quot;</p><p>The BBC announced in June 2019 that, only people who are aged 75 and above and in receipt of pension credit will continue to receive a free television licence from June 2020.</p><p>The Government is very disappointed with this decision. People across the country value television as a way to stay connected, and the Government expects the BBC to look at further ways to support older people. My officials will be continuing discussions with the BBC in order to look at further ways to support older people.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 05/09/2019 10:51:29 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
