answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2020 answer text <p>DCMS has engaged extensively with union bodies, companies, orchestras, individual musical practitioners and cultural organisations. We understand the importance of being able to tour. We recognise that this depends on musicians and crew being able to move quickly and easily between countries, taking necessary equipment with them.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We want a relationship with the EU based on friendly cooperation. On temporary entry for business purposes (mode 4), a reciprocal agreement based on best precedent will mean that UK citizens will be able to undertake some business activities in the EU without a work permit, on a short-term basis. The same would apply for EU citizens making business visits to the UK. The precise details, including range of activities, documentation needed, and the time limit, will be negotiated.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Mr John Whittingdale question first answered 20/05/2020 12:01:41 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2020 answer text <p>The Government is committed to establishing the UK as a global leader in 5G technology and ensuring that the majority of the population has access to a 5G signal by 2027. We have made good progress toward these aims, with 5G networks available in over 70 UK towns and cities and the investment of £200m in a 5G testbeds and trials programme.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>5G deployment is still in its infancy and decisions on rollout and deployment remain a matter for the network operators themselves, based on need and demand for 5G services. It should be noted that in many cases 5G deployment will be delivered utilising masts that are currently used for the delivery of 4G services.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>As roll out continues Government will continue to work with industry and stakeholders to support the timely and efficient rollout of 5G across the UK.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 29/04/2020 08:41:44 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman
