uin	242255
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2019 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. The department does not collect data on creative industries investment on a region-by-region basis.</p><p> </p><p>DCMS funds Arms Length Bodies, which invest in arts and culture on a regional basis. These interventions support future skills and talent that go on to work in the Creative Industries. According to Arts Council England and British Film Institute data, the East Midlands have received grant-in-aid and lottery support of more than £127m since 2016. The East Midlands have also benefited from UK-wide programmes operated by these bodies.</p><p> </p><p>Employing over 100,000 people, the East Midlands Creative Industries contributed £2.5bn to the UK economy in 2017. This was an increase of 9% since the previous year and represented faster growth than the wider national economy.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the Audience of the Future immersive programme, a sector deal commitment, £4m was awarded to WEAVR – a virtual reality consortium which will work with leading academics and innovators across immersive technologies. This consortium is led by Leicester-based Turtle Entertainment UK.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 12/04/2019 12:01:47 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has responsibility for a number of policy objectives in the National Cyber Security Strategy relating to improving the cyber resilience of organisations across the economy. In this role, DCMS works very closely with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), which was established in October 2016 as the UK’s authority on cyber security matters. The NCSC regularly produces contextualised guidance, products and services, such as Cyber Essentials and 10 Steps to Cyber Security, which allow organisations across key sectors to protect themselves against cyber incidents. The NCSC also works closely with regulators, trade associations and other external partners to proactively share its guidance, products and services to ensure they reach organisations, all of which can be found on the recently relaunched NCSC website. Additionally, Government departments, including DCMS and the NCSC, are working together to deliver a national campaign for cyber security to help individuals and organisations take action to protect themselves online.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 11/04/2019 14:13:45 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
