To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the EU’s removal of the De Minimis exemption from customs duties for low-value goods on the volume of (a) print magazine (b) book exports to the EU.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the EU’s removal of the De Minimis exemption from customs duties for low-value goods on the volume of (a) print magazine (b) book exports to the EU.
The Government has been following the development of the EU’s customs reforms and the removal of the €150 customs duty relief for imports into the EU (including books and magazines from the UK). The Government is aware of concerns from professional publications about the impact of the EU’s changes on the sector and their proposal for a sectoral carve out. The EU's changes do not impact the rules for claiming preferential rates of duty agreed in the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement. The UK has engaged the European Commission on their reforms through forums including the UK-EU Trade Specialised Committee on Customs Co-operation and Rules of Origin, and more broadly the Government is working closely with the EU at all levels to support UK businesses’ trade in and with the EU.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of the changes to EU customs duties for small parcels on the magazine media sector.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of the changes to EU customs duties for small parcels on the magazine media sector.
The EU’s changes to customs duties for small parcels remain at the proposal stage, although interim measures have started to be introduced by some Member States. This Government is engaging with relevant UK business representative organisations and industry stakeholders to consider the potential implications. To support preparedness, the Department is working with other departments to develop new online resources to help businesses, particularly SMEs understand and navigate any new requirements.
That this House congratulates the Green House Climate Club in St Albans, including students from Margaret Wix Primary School, Abbey Primary School, Prae Wood Primary School and Cunningham Hill Schools for their advocacy and campaigning to prevent plastic pollution by publishers and retailers of childrens’ magazines and comics; commends their work to promote the national Kids Against Plastic tat campaign; recognises that the cheap plastic toy giveaways and plastic film wrapping used by some publishers of magazines are rarely recycled, often end up in landfill, being incinerated, or otherwise being littered in our environment; agrees that positive change by publishers and retailers to end unnecessary plastic tat can play a part in our fight against plastic pollution and the climate crisis; calls on Tesco Chief Executive Ken Murphy to meet with the Green House Climate Club members to receive their petition; and further calls on Tesco, other major supermarkets and newsagents to follow the example of Waitrose who responded to national petitions by stopping selling magazines with plastic toys.

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether his Department plans to regulate the sale of (a) magazines and (b) other offline pornography to under 21s in (i) shops and (ii) garages.
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether his Department plans to regulate the sale of (a) magazines and (b) other offline pornography to under 21s in (i) shops and (ii) garages.
Physical (or ‘offline’) media with pornographic content is usually classified 18 or R18 rating by the British Board of Film Classification under the Video Recordings Act 1984. This Act is the responsibility of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, rather than DSIT.
DSIT is responsible for the Online Safety Act, which requires online services in scope of the Act to proactively tackle and remove illegal content, including illegal pornographic content. By summer 2025, all user-to-user services that allow sharing of pornographic content should also use highly effective age assurance if necessary to prevent children from accessing such content.
That this House recognises with gratitude the outstanding dedication and service provided by Selsey Life magazine over the course of 301 issues, culminating with its final December 2024/January 2025 edition; commends its immense contribution to the Selsey community in sharing local news, promoting events, and fostering a sense of unity and belonging; applauds the exceptional commitment and hard work of Amanda, Steve, and the team of volunteers who made the magazine possible for many years; notes with concern the challenges faced by print journalism, particularly its disproportionate impact on elderly and vulnerable individuals who rely on physical publications for local information and engagement; acknowledges the vital role of community journalism in preserving local identity and facilitating informed communities; and calls on the Government to take steps to protect and promote the sustainability of print news to ensure it remains accessible to all, regardless of age or digital proficiency.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of Royal Mail’s proposed stamp price increases on magazine publishers.
The Government does not have a role in Royal Mail’s commercial decisions, including the prices of stamps and other services.
In setting its prices, Royal Mail must observe the regulatory framework set by Ofcom which imposes price controls, ‘safeguard caps’, on certain second-class products to ensure a basic universal service is available to all at affordable prices.
Information on Ofcom’s decisions regarding retail price caps on Royal Mail’s universal postal services to apply from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2027 is available on its website: www.ofcom.org.uk/post/deliveries-and-charges/consultation-review-of-second-class-safeguard-caps-2024.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of changes to Royal Mail’s universal service obligation on magazine publishers.
Ofcom, as the independent regulator of postal services, is responsible for ensuring the provision of a financially sustainable and efficient universal postal service that meets users’ needs.
Ofcom’s statement of 5 September set out potential reforms to the universal service obligation and its plans to carry out further in-depth research among postal users. Ofcom expects to publish any proposals for public consultation in early 2025, which will provide an opportunity for interested parties (including magazine publishers) to contribute their views. More information is available on Ofcom’s website: www.ofcom.org.uk/post/royal-mail/securing-the-future-of-the-universal-postal-service.

Budgets are not allocated to this level of detail. The annual Library budget allocation does not provide specific allocation to magazine subscription. The overall budget allocation covers magazines, (e-)books, print and online journals, document delivery, memberships, news coverage, analytical/economic tools and reference/full text databases.
The allocated library budget and spend on magazines and journals over the last three years since 2021/22 is outlined below.
Financial Year | Total Library budget | Spend on magazine and journals |
2021/22 | £780,000 | £487,281.54 |
2022/23 | £1,043,000 | £412,074.32 |
2023/24 | £1,247,000 | £538,098.20 |

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, how much funding their Department (a) allocated for (b) spent on magazine subscriptions in each of the last three financial years.
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, how much funding their Department (a) allocated for (b) spent on magazine subscriptions in each of the last three financial years.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office does not hold separate financial data on magazine subscriptions as we do not allocate budget to that level of granularity. Many decisions are made by the UK's 281 embassies and diplomatic posts overseas or by individual departments in the UK. As a result, comprehensive information on individual magazine purchasing across the organisation is not centrally recorded and disaggregating this information would incur disproportionate cost.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much funding his Department (a) allocated for and (b) spent on magazine subscriptions in each of the last three financial years.
Determining the amount allocated for and spent by the Home Office on magazine subscriptions is not readily available from our finance system.
The Home Office does not have expenditure categories in our financial system that would allow us to quickly identify spending at this level of granularity.
To try to identify the information under scope would require a manual review of multiple expenditures categories and transactions, over multiple business areas.
This could only be done at disproportionate cost.
