tabling member printed	James Frith
uin	189800
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2018 answer text <p>No such assessment has been made to date. This is because rights holders tend to use collective management organisation (CMOs) to collect and distribute royalties earned in other EU countries. UK and EU CMOs enter into reciprocal agreements with each other to do this. These are private commercial agreements between the parties which we would expect to continue after the UK has exited the Digital Single Market.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 14/11/2018 18:00:14 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2018 answer text <p>The Cyber Essentials scheme is largely self sustaining.

This includes governance, technical oversight, policy development and contract management.</p><p> </p><p>The original start-up costs included an injection of investment from the Government's National Cyber Security Programme in 2014 of £766,000, but this does not include the staffing costs from the three departments which originally developed the scheme: GCHQ, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, and the Cabinet Office.</p><p> </p><p>The financial model for delivery of the Cyber Essentials scheme involves Government overseeing the governance, technical oversight, policy development and contract management of five industry Accreditation Bodies. The Accreditation Bodies are responsible for marketing the scheme along with their Certification Bodies and providing the certificates to those wishing to achieve certification. The Accreditation Bodies and Certification Bodies charge a fee for the issuing of certificates and any related services provided.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 14/11/2018 17:57:44 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
