Arts: Education
Asked by: Earl of Clancarty (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary) Friday 6th February 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they periodically review the effect of the structure of the Progress 8 and accountability measures in arts subjects in schools. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) The department has reviewed Progress 8 and determined that it has had an impact, including on arts subjects. As a result, as part of the government response to the Curriculum and Assessment Review, published on 5 November 2025, we announced our intention to consult shortly on an improved version of Progress 8 that will recognise the value of subjects, including the arts, which strengthen our economy and society, and the importance of a broad pre-16 curriculum. We will continue to monitor patterns in subject entry, including arts subjects, in the future. |

Recording Studios
Asked by: Earl of Clancarty (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary) Tuesday 24th February 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the net annual benefit to the UK economy of recording studios. Answered by Baroness Twycross - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) The UK’s network of recording studios are central to our position as the world’s third-largest music market and play an important role in ensuring the continuation of our talent pipeline. The creative industries, and music within that, are a priority growth sector in the government’s Industrial Strategy. Up to now, recording studios have been classified by a four-digit SIC code that combined sound recording with music publishing. While this broader group contributed £1.9 billion to the UK economy in 2024, we are not able to disaggregate the contribution of recording studios specifically. Given these long running data limitations, we have in the past commissioned bespoke research to better understand this part of the sector, including a Music Studio Market Assessment in 2021. Since then, we’ve worked with industry trade bodies to improve the accuracy of industrial classifications, in particular to make the case for revisions to the ONS's proposed SIC 2026 framework. Several of the recommendations have been accepted and once in place, future economic estimates will be available for both music publishing and sound recording separately. |
