Baroness Bonham-Carter of Yarnbury (LD)
My Lords, does the Minister agree that a thriving future for the creative industries is a matter of access not just to markets but to talent, and that limiting EU migrants to those who earn more than £30,000, as the immigration White Paper suggests, will have a severe negative effect on a sector where average earnings hover around £20,000?
Lord Ashton of Hyde
I agree that that is an issue; that is why there is a year-long consultation. We will represent the views of the creative industries to the Home Office.
