answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2023 answer text <p>The recently published Creative Industries Sector Vision sets out the Government’s ambition to maximise the potential of the creative industries. It details our plans to grow these industries by an extra £50bn and create a million extra jobs by 2030, and build a pipeline of talent and opportunity for young people through a Creative Careers Promise. As part of this, it will be important to expand career opportunities in post-production film and television.</p><p>The Creative Industries Sector Vision sets out a range of interventions across education, skills and job quality to achieve this. The forthcoming joint Department for Education and Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Cultural Education Plan will support the provision of high quality cultural education for all school-age children, including careers advice and skills development. This will provide young people with a window into the sector, and access to important foundational skills.</p><p>Strengthening talent pipelines for young people is also a priority. This will be delivered through our Creative Careers Programme, 14 new creative Local Skills Improvement Plans across England announced this summer, two new creative T-Levels rolling out in September 2024, and multiple national and regional opportunities to participate in digital and creative Skills Bootcamps.</p><p>These interventions complement the investment the sector is already making on skills, including the BFI’s £9 million National Lottery funded ‘Skills Clusters’ which will support skills development and training across the UK; ScreenSkills’ £19 million <a href="https://www.screenskills.com/news/screenskills-celebrate-five-years-of-future-film-skills-at-showcase/" target="_blank">Future Film Skills Programme</a> which has helped over 119,000 people progress in screen careers since 2018; and the work of the DCMS-funded, world-leading National Film and Television School.</p><p>Following the publication of the BFI’s Film and High-End TV Skills Review (2022), industry has set up the UK Production Skills Task Force for the Screen Sector to produce an industry-led response to the review. This will include supporting and delivering an action plan to address the skills shortages, gaps, and related workforce challenges in the sector over the next 5 years. Following on from the BFI's Skills Review, the BFI are now conducting a scoping study of the skills needs in the UK's animation, post-production, video games, and VFX sectors.</p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Sir John Whittingdale question first answered 17/10/2023 09:16:30 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2023 answer text <p>The government set out plans for addressing the skills needs of the creative industries in the Creative Industries Sector Vision published by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in June. As the vision sets out, the skills needs of the creative industries are complex and qualifications needed to enter the wide range of posts available in the industry will vary. In light of this, an assessment of the specific impact of art and design GCSE and A-level entry on the creative industry has not been carried out. The department is, however, delivering a wide range of skills programmes and reforms to deliver the skills needed by employers in this industry.</p><p>Employers in the Creative and Design sector have developed 58 high-quality apprenticeship standards including Creative Venue Technician, VFX artist, and Media Production Coordinator. Alongside this, T Levels, which are aligned to the same employer-led standards as apprenticeships, will also support the pipeline of talent into the creative industries. New T Levels in Craft and Design, and Media, Broadcast and Production will be rolled out in 2024.</p><p>The department’s reforms to higher technical education (level 4/5) include the introduction of Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs). These are current (and new) level 4-5 qualifications approved, and quality marked by the Institute for Apprenticeships &amp; Technical Education as providing the skills demanded in the workplace by employers.  31 Digital HTQs launched for AY 22/23. Creative and Design HTQs will be available for teaching from September 2025.</p> answering member constituency Harlow answering member printed Robert Halfon question first answered 18/09/2023 16:36:40 answering member 3985 label Biography information for Robert Halfon

Since January 2019, the publishing costs have been as follows:</p><ul><li><p>SI publishing fee - £305</p></li><li><p>Explanatory Memoranda (if relevant) - £145</p></li><li><p>Impact Assessment (if relevant) - £55</p></li><li><p>Correction slip - £20.50</p></li></ul><p>Issuing an SI under the free issue procedure incurs a cost on top of the SI publishing fee. The average additional cost for issuing an SI under the free issue procedure is £39.90.</p><p>The distribution of the SI also incurs a cost. If an SI is issued free of charge due to an error in an earlier SI, The Stationery Office (TSO) will identify everyone who bought a copy of the original SI and arrange for them to receive a free copy of the new version, paid for by the department. The cost of this will vary for each SI.</p><p>The number of SIs between 2006 and 2016 that required correction slips and were made and issued under the free issue procedure is as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Number of UKSIs made that year</p></td><td><p>Correction slips issued for made UKSIs</p></td><td><p>Number of UKSIs issued under the free issue procedure</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2006</p></td><td><p>1554</p></td><td><p>110</p></td><td><p>48</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2007</p></td><td><p>1639</p></td><td><p>121</p></td><td><p>53</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008</p></td><td><p>1483</p></td><td><p>127</p></td><td><p>51</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>1817</p></td><td><p>112</p></td><td><p>68</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>2801</p></td><td><p>76</p></td><td><p>51</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>2808</p></td><td><p>63</p></td><td><p>38</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>3002</p></td><td><p>74</p></td><td><p>31</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>2969</p></td><td><p>79</p></td><td><p>24</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>3131</p></td><td><p>49</p></td><td><p>38</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>1743</p></td><td><p>42</p></td><td><p>41</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>948</p></td><td><p>64</p></td><td><p>23</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt grouped question UIN 194432 question first answered 20/07/2023 10:54:10 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
