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 189798 question first answered 19/11/2018 16:07:55 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
