Thirteenth Report - Draft Media Bill: Final Report Published 22 Sep 2023 Paragraph 106 Addressed to Department for Culture, Media and Sport

Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee Pre-legislative scrutiny of the Draft Media Bill All items in this report Report on parliament.uk ↗ Inquiry on parliament.uk ↗

Recommendation (the committee's words)
As the fairness and privacy code will enable complaints coming from outside the UK, this could have significant resource implications for Ofcom. It is not possible to gauge in advance the likelihood of this happening, but should it become onerous then Ofcom would need to be resourced to meet this increased demand. We recommend that the Government should monitor the extent to which the fairness and privacy code is requiring Ofcom to manage complaints from abroad and resource it accordingly.
