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

For example, gambling adverts must not target children or portray, condone or encourage gambling behaviour that is socially irresponsible.</p><p>Last year the government announced its intention to review how online advertising is regulated in the UK, looking at how well the current regime is equipped to tackle the challenges posed by developments in online advertising.
