answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2020 answer text <p>Following the new national restrictions being put in place from 5 November to 2 December, we are currently at Stages 1 &amp; 2 of the Performing Arts Roadmap, meaning that rehearsals, training and performances for broadcast and recording purposes (without an audience) can take place. We recognise the importance of giving the sector clarity for when Stage 5 activity can resume and acknowledge the lead in time required for programming, casting and rehearsing productions.</p><p>We have always said that further reopening would be dependent on the public health context at the time. DCMS has convened a Venues Steering Group which includes representatives from leading sector organisations as well as Public Health England and other experts to develop an action plan for maximizing activity under Stages 3 and 4, when it is permitted, and for how we safely proceed to Stage 5. DCMS will continue to work with the sector to establish an appropriate pilot process for testing the return to stage 5 activity when appropriate and are working closely with the Department for Health and Social Care on the Government Mass Testing Programme.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 06/11/2020 16:28:58 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
