answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>Government recognises the role played by creative businesses, including media, right across the UK in local economic growth. Government supports this growth via tax credits, regional development programmes, relocation of Arms Length Bodies associated with the sector, rebasing of public sector broadcasters and putting ‘place’ at the heart of the Industrial Strategy. We are actively considering moving Channel 4 out of London</p><p> </p><p>Whilst London remains a hub for media jobs, official estimates also demonstrate impressive growth in different geographical regions around the UK. For example, growth of Yorkshire &amp; Humber’s film and TV industries has outstripped that of every other part of the UK, increasing by 40 per cent in the last year.</p><p> </p><p>In sports , DCMS has created a Sports Business Council will act as a forum for the sport and physical activity sector to work with Government to identify and take action to ensure the sector continues to grow and prosper. The Council will give due regard to devolved, regional and local areas and the impact of actions agreed by the Council on these areas.</p><p> </p><p>Sport England invests significant National Lottery and Exchequer funding across England. Of the £962m it invested across England over the 2012-2017 period, approximately £704m was invested in the non-London regions. In addition to its existing grant funding regime, as part of its Towards an Active Nation strategy (May 2016) Sport England announced that approximately £130m would be spent across 4 years on delivering around 10 place-based pilots. These pilots will be focused on trialling targeted and partnership driven approaches to tackling inactivity and working with specific demographics across a mix of urban and rural geographies.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 12/09/2017 16:59:55 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

uin	7366
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>No specific assessment has been made of the effect of Exchange Only (EO) lines on businesses operating in the Cricklewood Broadway area.</p><p> </p><p>Upgrading EO lines is more complicated (and more expensive) as there are greater engineering challenges. For instance, because EO lines do not have the copper lines routed through a copper cabinet, there is no aggregation point to which a fibre cabinet can be connected. For these reasons it can take longer for EO lines to be upgraded. Openreach have confirmed this, and have advised that they currently fall outside any commercial rollout. However, they have said there is potential for EO lines to be brought into scope for upgrading through their Community Fibre Partnerships.</p><p>For those that do not see improved connectivity through publicly funded and commercial investment, we will ensure universal broadband coverage of at least 10Mbps, so that no home or business is left behind</p><p> </p><p>We are keen to ensure even better digital connectivity in the UK. We announced a package of measures worth £1.1 billion at Autumn Statement 2016 to support this:<br></p><ul><li>The Digital Infrastructure Investment Fund, which was launched on 3 July 2017 will provide finance for new fibre investments.</li><li>The Local Full Fibre Networks programme, which will support local bodies in stimulating the market for fibre connectivity in their areas.</li><li>A Bill to enable business rates relief for new fibre build.</li></ul><p>Together, these investments and incentives will stimulate the market to deliver the increase in capacity that is needed.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 12/09/2017 16:30:26 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

uin	7057
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>After the UK leaves the EU, free movement will end but migration between the UK and the EU will continue. The Government has been clear that, in future, the Free Movement Directive will no longer apply, however the UK will remain an open and tolerant country; one that recognises the valuable contribution migrants make to our society and welcomes those with the skills and expertise to make our nation better still. To retain the UK’s position as a world leader in the creative industries, the UK needs to continue to attract the brightest and best, including those from the EU, with high level skills that can support the creative sector, the industrial strategy and benefit the wider UK economy.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 12/09/2017 16:07:48 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
