<p>The Government is committed to supporting our grassroots music venues, which are
the lifeblood and research and development centres of our world-leading music sector.</p><p>The
Department for Culture, Media and Sport is in regular discussions with all parts of
the music industry, including live venues at every level. We work with industry and
across Government to improve the sector's economic resilience to future economic shocks,
as we did through the pandemic, and the recent Energy Bills Support Scheme.</p><p>We
will continue to engage with the sector on the impact of current pressures. As part
of this engagement, Minister Lopez is meeting Music Venues Trust shortly to discuss
issues facing the live music sector, and how to support growth of the music sector
and wider Creative Industries.</p><p>The Creative Industries have been identified
by this Government as a priority growth sector. We will shortly be publishing a Creative
Industries Sector Vision that will set out our ambitions, shared with industry, to
support all parts of the creative sector to 2030. We look forward to working with
the music industry to deliver on these objectives.</p>
