I will take the proposal back to the department.
The Earl of Clancarty (CB)
My Lords, the Minister should agree that in the cultural area the UK should have much closer relations with the EU. Although the language has changed, we have not yet seen any action at all to address the specific concerns of the arts and creative industries. When will that happen? Every passing week represents lost opportunities and revenues for many artists and creatives who continue to face huge difficulties in Europe.
Baroness Twycross (Lab)
There is a genuine commitment and determination from the Government to address this. I thank the noble Earl for his question on this point.
