Children: Maintenance
Asked by: Adam Thompson (Labour - Erewash) Tuesday 8th July 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps she is taking to ensure that there is clear understanding within (a) her Department and (b) employers of which payments and benefits from employers are treated as income for the purposes of child maintenance calculations. Answered by Andrew Western - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)
CMS staff have a clear understanding of what is classed as income from training and internal guidance.
However, this does not cover all income that an employer may pay an individual. Where a paying parent is the director of their limited liability company, they are legally an employee of that company and are treated the same as any other employee for child maintenance purposes but may receive additional income as a result of their employment status, for example, dividends, which are not routinely included in the standard child maintenance calculation. In these circumstances, this income is only included within the calculation if the receiving parent in the case applies for a variation.
Caseworkers are fully supported in processing variation applications through training and internal guidance.

Performing Arts: Skilled Workers
Asked by: Adam Thompson (Labour - Erewash) Wednesday 23rd July 2025 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what her Department's policy is on investment in skills in the grassroots performing arts. Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) This government is making a substantial investment in skills across the economy, with over £1 billion of additional funding by 2028-29, on top of the phase 1 settlement for 2025-26. This protects opportunity, delivers the workforce needed for the Plan for Change, and fuels future growth. The Creative Industries Sector Plan sets out how we will develop high quality, responsive, inclusive and targeted education, skills and training for the Creative Industries, which will benefit grassroots performing arts. This includes delivering a refreshed UK-wide £9 million creative careers service to raise awareness of creative careers and ensuring that we continue to consider the needs of smaller employers when developing our growth and skills offer. The Plan recognises the UK’s significant strengths in educational infrastructure for performing arts, including our world-leading institutions, and commits to working with DfE, Skills England and industry to support increased access to quality specialist creative education provision across England. On the 2nd June, the government also announced that £132.5 million of dormant assets funding will be allocated to increase disadvantaged young people’s access to enrichment opportunities in the arts, culture, sports and wider youth services, aimed at improving wellbeing and employability. The Department for Education will launch the National Centre for Arts and Music Education in September 2026 to expand arts access for young people, enhance teacher training, and strengthen school-arts partnerships. In addition, in 2024/25, Arts Council England awarded £14.2 million to 1,220 creative practitioners through its Developing Your Creative Practice programme, and a further £28 million to 1,119 practitioners via National Lottery Project Grants. |
Performing Arts: Tax Allowances
Asked by: Adam Thompson (Labour - Erewash) Wednesday 23rd July 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she plans to extend (a) film and (b) high-end TV tax relief to grassroots performing arts. Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) The Government recognises the importance of the creative industries, including the key role they play in driving economic growth. The Government supports the creative industries through tax reliefs and funding, where the recently published Creative Industries Sector Plan set out the Government’s vision. Up to £30 million will be set aside for a new Music Growth package over the next three years, which will create new touring, performance, mentoring and export opportunities for emerging talent, while also delivering a significant uplift in funding for the grassroots sector to support small venues. The objective of the creative industry tax reliefs is to support and incentivise productions rather than to support venues themselves. When considering new tax reliefs, the Government takes into account costs, complexity, and the market failure the relief is seeking to address. Extending the Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) to grassroots performing arts is not currently under consideration. |
Music Venues: Finance
Asked by: Adam Thompson (Labour - Erewash) Wednesday 23rd July 2025 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she has had with (a) music concert event organisers, (b) large venue event organisers, (c) ticketing platforms and (d) others on the amount expected to be raised by the grassroots ticket levy in the second quarter of 2025. Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) The Government wants to see the music industry supporting the ticket levy to back the artists, venues, festivals and promoters who make up our grassroots sector. We are working closely with the sector to monitor progress, particularly with LIVE and the Music Venue Trust, who are tracking data on the uptake of the levy. Sector reporting shows 8% of 2025 tickets on sale in the UK now include the grassroots ticket levy, with an encouraging uptake in recent months. Summer ticket sales and the establishment of the LIVE Trust should mean greater uptake by autumn. I am delighted that the Royal Albert Hall has announced that it will now include the levy for all ticketed events and am enthusiastically encouraging all venues, promoters and artists to follow suit. If not, the Government will reconvene the live music sector to consider legislative options. Since November I have held two roundtables with members of the live music sector to drive progress on the levy uptake. We are urging major promoters to act without delay, and I recently met Live Nation to encourage them to back the scheme in earnest. I would also urge every major artist to encourage their team to sign up as a matter of urgency so that at least a majority of qualifying tickets carry the levy by the end of the year.
