answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2023 answer text <p>The Government remains committed to the future of digital terrestrial television (DTT), the technology which underpins Freeview. Millions of households across the UK rely on digital terrestrial television, particularly rural communities and older people.</p><p>We also recognise the crucial role that digital terrestrial television services play in the wider UK broadcasting system, in particular in helping ensure that public service content continues to be widely available free-to-air to all audiences.</p><p>For these reasons, the Government has legislated to secure continuity of digital terrestrial television until at least 2034.</p><p>As the sector evolves, it is right that we continue to evaluate the future distribution of television services. To that end, and as set out in the Broadcasting White Paper, the Government has asked Ofcom to continue to track changes in DTT viewing and to undertake an early review on market changes that may affect the future of content distribution before the end of 2025.</p><p>Before any decisions about the future of terrestrial television are made, close consideration will be given to how any changes would impact audiences, and especially those who rely on DTT as their primary means of watching television.</p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Sir John Whittingdale question first answered 11/07/2023 11:04:26 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale

This is to prevent individuals from using tax-relieved funds to acquire property that could be of personal use, rather than to secure future retirement income.</p><p>However, SIPPs are able to indirectly invest in residential property through collective investment vehicles such as Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs), where sufficient diversity of ownership and assets prevents the possibility of private use of the assets.</p><p>The legislation aims to strike a balance between allowing these pension schemes to invest in a wide range of assets, and the need to protect both tax relief on pension contributions and investment returns from potential abuse.</p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 11/07/2023 12:45:00 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith
