As set out in the White Paper on our future relationship with the EU, the UK will make a sovereign choice to seek reciprocal mobility arrangements with the EU in a defined number of areas, for example to allow business professionals to move to provide services, or tourists to continue to travel visa-free. We have been collaborating closely with other government departments to help them to understand the particular needs of the music sector.</p><p> </p><p>My department benefits from research carried out by trade organisations and umbrella bodies.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James grouped question UIN 189799 question first answered 19/11/2018 16:07:55 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
