Ofsted is the non-Ministerial Government Department responsible for the regulation of childcare providers in England. Ofsted is responsible for notifying providers of action needed to address failings identified in inspections and for taking the necessary follow-up action with those providers to ensure compliance with its notices. This is a matter for Her Majesty's Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw. I have asked him to write to the Hon. Member and a copy of his reply will be placed in the libraries of the House.

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Many of us who have been Ministers know only too well that quasi-judicial processes have to be very carefully handled in this Chamber, but I wonder whether you could assist us. We had a statement from the Secretary of State on the Sky...

BT owns a massive 42% of the UK’s useable mobile spectrum, meaning that challenger companies suffer capacity constraints. Will the Minister ask Ofcom to include a cap considerably below 42% in the forthcoming spectrum auction?

Making sure we have a fully competitive mobile market is very important. Ofcom will take a view to ensure that that continues. That is in its remit. We will ensure that the spectrum is auctioned in such a way to get the broadest possible coverage.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the source of funding for Ofcom; whether it levies fees and charges; and if so, (1) under what authority, (2) against whom, and (3) what mechanisms there are for challenging the level of those fees and charges.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the source of funding for Ofcom; whether it levies fees and charges; and if so, (1) under what authority, (2) against whom, and (3) what mechanisms there are for challenging the level of those fees and charges.
Ofcom is currently funded through fees from industry for regulating broadcasting and communications networks and from grant in aid from government. The Digital Economy Bill contains a provision to change Ofcom’s funding so that it will be entirely self-funded, only receiving grant-in-aid for delivery of specific government programmes
Under the Communications Act 2003 (sections 38 - 39 and 347) the Broadcasting Act 1990 (sections 4 and 87), the Broadcasting Act 1996 (sections 4 and 43) and the Postal Services Act 2011 (section 43), Ofcom is required to raise income from each of the sectors it regulates, such that it covers the costs to be incurred by Ofcom in regulating that sector.
Ofcom currently raises its funds from:
- TV and Radio broadcasters;
- Providers of on-demand programme services;
- Electronic communication network and services providers;
- The Postal Universal Service Provider and
- DCMS grant in aid
Ofcom imposes its fees in accordance with its published Statement of Charging Principles. Whilst there is no statutory mechanism for challenging Ofcom’s fees, before making or revising its Statement of Charging Principles Ofcom must first consult those people who, in its opinion, are likely to be affected by the principles contained in that document. Ofcom also responds to stakeholders queries on the fees and charges set.

The Digital Economy Bill is scheduled to receive its second reading in the House of Lords on 13 December 2016. The Bill aims to enable access to fast digital communication services for citizens and businesses; to enable investment in digital communications infrastructure; to shape the emerging digital world to the benefit of children, consumers and businesses; and to support the digital transformation of government, enabling the delivery of better public services, world leading research and better statistics. This House of Lords Library briefing gives an overview of the provisions of the Bill. It focuses measures concerning the introduction of a broadband universal service obligation; protection for children from online pornography; public sector data sharing; the BBC and public service broadcasters. It outlines the policy background in those areas, and a summary of some of the key amendments made to the Bill during committee and report stages in the House of Commons.
