answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/09/2021 answer text <p>This government recognises the importance of the UK’s creative and cultural industries, not only to the economy and international reputation of the United Kingdom, but also to the wellbeing and enrichment of its people. We want musicians and performers to be able to tour abroad easily.</p><p>We recognise that challenges remain around touring, and we are continuing to work closely with the industry. In order to support this we have published guidance on GOV.UK, including updated <a href="https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice" target="_blank">travel advice</a> for travelling to the EU, and <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/travelling-to-the-eu-switzerland-norway-iceland-or-liechtenstein-for-work" target="_blank">business traveller summaries</a> for individual Member States, and developed sector specific ‘<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/touring-europe-checklists-for-the-arts-cultural-creative-and-heritage-sectors" target="_blank">landing pages</a>’ for GOV.UK, aimed at the creative sectors, which will allow cultural and creative professionals to easily locate and access guidance that is relevant to them.</p><p>Member States are principally responsible for deciding the rules governing what work UK visitors can undertake in each Member State. This is why we have spoken to every EU Member State about the importance of touring. From these discussions, 19 out of 27 Member States have confirmed that UK musicians and performers do not need visas or work permits for some short-term tours.</p><p>We are now actively engaging with Member States, and in particular those that do not allow any visa or permit free touring, to encourage them to more closely align requirements with the UK’s generous rules, which allow creative professionals to tour easily here. DCMS ministers are speaking with their counterparts as part of these discussions, and we are working with the sector to amplify each other’s lobbying efforts.</p><p>We are looking at options to support individuals and businesses to resume touring with ease. This includes looking carefully at proposals for a new Creative Export Office that could provide further practical help.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 24/09/2021 09:06:34 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2020 answer text <p>Strong transport connections are important to all businesses but particularly so for creative industries, which rely on bringing together creative talent.

For these networks to function effectively, communication links are critical.</p><p>South Yorkshire benefits from a number of fast-growing creative industries such as Sheffield’s strengths in digital, publishing and design alongside that of Sheffield’s universities widely recognised . South Yorkshire also neighbours other counties with fast-growing creative industries clusters including fashion in Leeds and film, TV, games and media in York, both of which have benefited from recent investment via the Arts &amp; Humanities Research Council’s £100m Creative Industries Cluster Programme.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 29/01/2020 12:56:22 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
