Primary classification indicates that, in this case, opera or brass bands, was a major focus of the activity funded with the assumption most of this amount went to funding this activity. Secondary classification indicates this was a minor focus of the activity and so it cannot be assumed this full amount of funding went towards this activity.</p><p> </p><p>A small number of projects are classified under both opera and brass bands, so these figures cannot be added together, as these projects would be double counted.</p><p><ins class="ministerial">ACE Opera Funding:</ins></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong>Year</strong></ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong>Primary</strong></ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong>Secondary</strong></ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong>Total</strong></ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2019/20</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">£59,230,322</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">£26,335,477</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">£85,565,799</ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2020/21</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">£61,920,159</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">£37,675,988</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">£99,596,147</ins></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong>ACE Brass Bands Funding:</strong></ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong>Year</strong></ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong>Primary</strong></ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong>Secondary</strong></ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial"><strong>Total</strong></ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2019/20</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">£375,339</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">£765,573</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">£1,140,912</ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2020/21</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">£392,670</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">£5,132,587</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">£5,525,257</ins></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br /> <br /><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p><p> </p>

answer text <p>Non-professional performing arts activities such as choirs are currently permitted outdoors, within the legal gathering limits. People should only take part in non-professional performing arts activities outdoors in groups of up to 6 people, or as a group of 2 households. A group made up of 2 households can include more than 6 people, but only where all members of the group are from the same 2 households (each household can include an existing support bubble, if eligible). Social distancing should be maintained between people who do not live together or share a bubble.</p><p><ins class="ministerial">Non-professional activity indoors is not permitted indoors at this time. The intention is that this will be permitted from Step 3 of the Roadmap (no earlier than 17 May). This is subject to review and further guidance will be provided in advance of step 3.</ins></p><p><del class="ministerial">Rules on outdoor singing for non-professionals will be relaxed at Step 3 of the roadmap and no earlier than 17 May, in line with the changes to social contact limits and wider performing arts activity restarting. Amateur singing indoors, is expected to return at Step 4 of the Roadmap and no earlier than 21 June.</del></p><p> </p><p>COVID-19 spreads from person to person through small droplets, aerosols and through direct contact. Singing, playing some musical instruments, shouting and physical activity increases the risk of transmission through small droplets and aerosols. The cumulative effect of aerosol transmission means the more people involved, the higher the risk of transmission. This means that it is currently important to limit the total number of individuals involved in singing as far as possible.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>Since the start of the first lockdown, we’ve provided a range of targeted measures to see the UK tourism sector through COVID-19. On top of the Government’s wider economic support package, we've provided business rates relief and grants for many in the sector, as well as a substantial cut in VAT for tourism and hospitality activities until the end of March. The Chancellor will deliver the Budget on 3 March, in which he will set out the next phase of our plan to tackle the pandemic and build back better.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise that heightened travel restrictions are significantly impacting international tourism and we are closely monitoring the situation. We will continue to engage with stakeholders via the Tourism Industry Council to assess how we can most effectively support the sector’s recovery.</p><p><ins class="ministerial">The Global Travel Taskforce last year committed the Government to publish a Tourism Recovery Plan in support of the sector. The Government intends to set out proposals in the Spring, including plans for a marketing campaign to welcome visitors back to the UK as soon as it is safe to do so. </ins></p><p><br /><ins class="ministerial">The Department for Transport will lead a successor to the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/global-travel-taskforce-recommendations" target="_blank">Global Travel Taskforce</a>, with an ambition to develop a framework that can facilitate greater inbound and outbound travel as soon as the time is right, while still managing the risk from imported cases and variants. It will report on 12 April.</ins></p><p> </p>

answer text <p><del class="ministerial">In negotiations with the EU, the UK proposed expanding a list of activities for Short Term Business Visitors to cover musicians, artists and their accompanying staff. This would have enabled musicians, artists and support staff to tour and perform in the EU without needing work-permits. I deeply regret that the EU rejected our proposals.There is scope to return to this issue in the future should the EU change its mind.</del></p><p><del class="ministerial">UK performers and artists are of course still able to tour and perform in the EU, and vice versa. However, they will be required to check domestic immigration rules for each Member State in which they intend to tour. This is because, while some Member States may allow paid performances without a visa or work permit, others will require musicians, artists and other creative professionals to obtain a visa or work permit, in the same way that they are required for other international artists.</del></p><p><del class="ministerial">The Government is looking at how we can work with our partners in EU Member States to find ways to make life easier for the creative industries touring in the EU.</del></p><p><del class="ministerial">We understand the concerns of the sector regarding the new arrangements and we are committed to supporting them as they get to grips with the changes to systems and processes. The DCMS-led working group on creative and cultural touring, which involves sector representatives and other key government departments, is looking at the issues and options to help the sectors resume touring with ease as soon as it is safe to do so.</del></p><p> </p><p><ins class="ministerial">Protecting children is at the heart of our online harms agenda, and wider government priorities. Under our proposals, social media, websites, apps and other services which host user-generated content or facilitate online user interaction (including video and image sharing, commenting and live streaming) will be subject to a duty of care, giving them new responsibilities towards their users. The online harms regime will capture both the most visited pornography sites and pornography on social media, therefore covering the vast majority of sites where children are most likely to be exposed to pornography.</ins></p><p> </p><p><ins class="ministerial">We expect companies to use age assurance or age verification technologies to prevent children from accessing services which pose the highest risk of harm to children, such as online pornography. We are working closely with stakeholders across industry to establish the right conditions for the market to deliver age assurance and age verification technical solutions ahead of the legislative requirements coming into force.</ins></p><p> </p><p> </p>
