Cairncross Review

"My Lords, I have to say that I am disappointed by some aspects of the Government’s response to the Cairncross Review.

Written Question
Mayflower: Anniversaries
Tuesday 5th November 2019

Asked by: Earl Attlee (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government which (1) Department, and (2) ministers, are responsible for organising the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower.

Answered by Baroness Barran - Shadow Minister (Education)

The commemorations for the 400th Mayflower anniversary are being organised by a partnership of organisations called the Mayflower 400, who are ultimately responsible for organising and delivering the commemorations.

UK Government, primarily through the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), has provided some financial support to the Mayflower 400’s programme. This is demonstrated by the £750,000 funding that DCMS has provided through VisitEngland, which will help to ensure a strong legacy for the commemorations. In 2015, DCMS provided £35,000 to invest in the Mayflower museum and in 2019, DCMS awarded £3.5m through the Cultural Development Fund for digital product development.

Press: Regulation
Monday 16th April 2018

Asked by: Earl Attlee (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether Special Advisers from No. 10 Downing Street or the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport have been briefing that Lords amendments 147 and 148 to the Data Protection Bill provide for state regulation of the press.

Answered by Lord Keen of Elie - Shadow Minister (Justice)

As the Secretary of State said at the second reading of the Data Protection Bill on the 5th March, The Government is clear that these amendments would undermine high-quality journalism and our free press and risks causing serious damage to local newspapers, who play such a vital role in our democracy.

Data Protection Bill [HL]

"My Lords, I have Amendment 147 and the consequential Amendments 148 and 216 in this group. It may be convenient if I suggest to the House the choreography of how this group might work. The noble Baroness, Lady Hollins, has moved her amendment, which is what we are debating now …..."

Data Protection Bill [HL]

"My noble friend makes an excellent point, which I shall come to in a moment.

The third claim is that the Leveson system is unnecessary, as the new IPSO is much better than the previous Press Complaints Commission. I dealt with this in Committee by identifying some, but not all, …..."
