Name Clerk of the Privy Council 4 CTEEA/S5/20/25/1 2 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Order) This Order is made under the Census Act 1920. Article 2 amends the Census (Scotland) Order 2020 (“the principal Order”) by changing the date on which a census is to be taken from 21 March 2021 to 20 March 2022 and making further amendments to the principal Order which are consequential to that change. 5 CTEEA/S5/20/25/1 ANNEXE B POLICY NOTE CENSUS (SCOTLAND) AMENDMENT ORDER 2020 SSI 2020/XXX The above instrument was made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 1(1) of the Census Act 1920. The instrument is subject to the affirmative procedure. Purpose of the instrument: To amend the Census (Scotland) Order 2020 to change the date on which the next census will be taken to 20 March 2022. Policy Objectives The key policy objectives of this Order are to: 1. change the date set out in the Census (Scotland) Order 2020 (“the principal Order”) on which the census is to be taken to 20 March 2022; 2. make consequential changes to the principal Order to reflect the new census date. The information collected through the census is a tool utilised by public bodies and other organisations across Scotland to inform key financial and policy decisions on how services such as transport, housing, schools and hospitals are planned. The census also helps paint an important picture of the characteristics of our population, helping us to understand the similarities and differences in the population’s characteristics locally and nationally, now and over time. Background The Census Act 1920 allows for a census to be taken no less than five years after the last census. The census in Scotland is usually carried out every 10 years on behalf of the Registrar General for Scotland. The last census in Scotland was held on 27 March 2011. The principal Order allowed for a census to be taken on 21 March 2021. Due to the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic Scottish Ministers have decided to move Scotland’s Census to 20 March 2022. This Order amends the principal Order to change the date on which the census is to be taken to 20 March 2022, and to make consequential changes to the principal Order to reflect the new census date.

    L&RS Note | How Parliaments Are Working During the Covid-19

    Oireachtas Library & Research Service | Bill Digest L&RS Note How parliaments are working during the Covid- 19 pandemic Charlotte Cousins, Senior Researcher (Parliamentary Affairs) Abstract 29 April 2020 This Note describes how twelve parliaments/assemblies have adapted their procedures and practices to adhere to the restrictions on physical meetings imposed due to Covid-19. Parliaments are continuing to meet with less sittings, dealing with limited business and with fewer members in their chambers. While most parliaments are precluded from holding full virtual plenary sessions, several have introduced some elements of remote working, most commonly virtual committee meetings. Remote voting is rarely feasible, for legal/procedural rather than technical reasons.

    ‘It could redefine public service broadcasting in the digital age’: assessing the BBC’s proposals for moving BBC Three online Phil Ramsey, Ulster University [email protected] http://ulster.academia.edu/PhilRamsey | http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5873-489X Published as: Ramsey, P. (2016) ‘It could redefine public service broadcasting in the digital age’: assessing the BBC’s proposals for moving BBC Three online. Convergence. (http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1354856516659001) Abstract In November 2015 the BBC Trust gave its final approval for BBC Three to cease broadcasting on television in the UK and become an online-only entity. The decision is a landmark moment in the history of BBC Television, and has significant implications for BBC planning in relation to the continued transition from broadcast television to streaming and download services. In this article the original proposals for BBC Three’s move online are assessed, and are discussed within the wider context of current BBC policy. It is argued that the rationale used for moving BBC Three online is based on arguments that vary in the extent to which they are backed by evidence. It is also argued that the plans have significant regulatory implications for the future of BBC Television and for the television licence fee in the UK. Keywords: BBC, BBC policy, BBC Three, online television, multi- platform approach, public service media, public value tests, media regulation. ‘It could redefine public service broadcasting in the digital age’: assessing the rationale for moving BBC Three online Introduction In March 2014 the BBC first announced that its UK television channel BBC Three, aimed at 16-34 year olds, would cease broadcast on digital terrestrial television (DTT) and on other broadcasting platforms and become an online-only entity.

    Scottish Ballet to Take Over Televisions This Christmas with Two Special BBC Commissions

    PRESS RELEASE scottishballet.co.uk Scottish Ballet to take over televisions this Christmas with two special BBC commissions Scottish Ballet is delighted to announce that the 50th anniversary year will culminate with two special BBC commissions, which will see the company take over televisions this festive period. In a year of celebrations for Scotland’s national dance company, Scottish Ballet’s 50th anniversary comes to a spectacular close with the world premiere of CEO / Artistic Director Christopher Hampson’s The Snow Queen. The glittering new production will provide the stage for a special performance capture that will be broadcast on BBC Scotland and BBC Four, and close the story on the Five Wishes campaign and a heartwarming documentary of the same name that will be broadcast on BBC One (Scotland) and BBC Scotland. The Snow Queen BBC Scotland audiences will be treated to a special performance of this new ballet as the glittering production takes over their homes, with a feature length screening. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s much-loved tale, The Snow Queen is a story of love and friendship. From the bustle of a winter’s market to the shivers of a fairytale forest, the production takes a journey to the Snow Queen’s palace and finds her surrounded by the icy fragments of an enchanted mirror. Guaranteed to transport the whole family to a place of wonder, The Snow Queen is choreographed by Christopher Hampson, in collaboration with multi-award winning designer Lez Brotherston. Set to the music of Rimsky-Korsakov, the score will be performed by the full Scottish Ballet Orchestra.

    ‘Specially restricted material’ and Age Verification Guidance for Providers of On-Demand Programme Services Changes to the Guidance Contents Section 1. Overview 1 2. Background 3 3. Decisions on Changes to the Guidance 6 4. Revised Rule 11 and Guidance 17 Annex A1. Equality Impact Assessment 22 A2. Legal Background 24 Changes to the ODPS age verification guidance 1. Overview On-demand programme service providers (“ODPS providers”) regulated by Ofcom are required to place ‘specially restricted material’ (which includes certain pornographic content) behind age- verification controls to restrict access to over 18s. The Digital Economy Act 2017 increases the scope of content that has to be placed behind age-verification controls on ODPS, and we are changing Rule 11 of Ofcom’s Rules for ODPS to reflect this stricter requirement. The Digital Economy Act also introduced new duties for the British Board of Film Classification (“BBFC”) to regulate ‘pornographic’ content online on commercial adult websites. In light of this, and following our consultation in October 2018, this document sets out our decisions regarding changes to Ofcom’s Guidance for Rule 11. How Rule 11 is changing – in brief The changes to Rule 11 extend the meaning of ‘specially restricted material’ for which ODPS must provide age-verification (“AV”) controls. The definition will now include material whose principal purpose is to cause sexual arousal and which has been issued an ‘18’ Certificate by the BBFC, or would be likely to be issued an ‘18’ if it were submitted to the BBFC in a video work. What we have decided about the Rule 11 Guidance – in brief Our changes to the Guidance aim to promote consistency between our approach to regulating ‘specially restricted material’ on ODPS, and the approach of the BBFC to regulating ‘pornographic material’ on online adult websites.
