The music industry is a major success story for the UK. The government recognises the importance of the continued mobility of talented individuals and groups to support cultural and creative cooperation and the continued growth of the sector.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> My department continues to engage on a regular basis with representatives from the music industry at both Ministerial and official level, through bilateral meetings, roundtable discussions, written correspondence, industry events and conferences. This includes the government\u2019s trade advisory committees that help inform international trade policy, and at which the music sector is of course represented.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p> Furthermore, DCMS has facilitated engagement between the sector and other departments in order to ensure that their views are understood at all levels of government.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p> We value the contributions made by the sector this far, and welcome their involvement going forward.<\/p> <\/p>"}
