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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the effect on Kent’s tourism industry of the UK leaving the EU without a deal.

Answered by Michael Ellis

My Department has not made an assessment of the impact on Kent’s tourism industry of different scenarios related to leaving the EU. My officials are however in regular dialogue with the tourism sector to understand potential implications. This includes recently meeting with Visit Kent.

We have agreed in principle the terms of the UK’s smooth and orderly exit from the EU, as set out in the Withdrawal Agreement. We have also agreed the broad terms of our future relationship as set out in the outline Political Declaration. We do not want or expect a no deal scenario, however we continue to prepare for a range of potential outcomes.

Written Question
Mobile Phones: Fees and Charges
Thursday 7th December 2017

Asked by: Michael Fallon (Conservative - Sevenoaks)

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she has had with BT on charges to landline customers who phone mobile numbers.

Answered by Matt Hancock

Ministers and officials hold regular discussions with BT on a range of issues including charges. The charges that BT makes to consumers for calling mobile telephones arise because BT has to pay the mobile company for the call. This is called the termination rate. Under Ofcom regulations, mobile termination rates have been capped by reference to a single flat rate since May 2015.
