Arts: Self-employed
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Tuesday 19th May 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps are being taken to support freelance workers in the creative sector. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) The self-employed workforce is crucial to the success of the UK's world-leading creative industries, which employ nearly twice the number of self-employed workers as a proportion of the workforce compared to the rest of the economy.
We understand that many self-employed workers in the creative industries desire greater job security. That is why we committed in the Creative Industries Sector Plan to appoint a Freelance Champion, who will advocate for the creative sector’s freelancers within government and be a member of the Creative Industries Council.
More broadly, with the Employment Rights Act we have committed to helping the self-employed thrive in good quality work through additional measures to strengthen protections - including the extension of health and safety and blacklisting protections, and right to a written contract. The Government has also announced measures to address the misuse of non-disclosure agreements by employers to silence workplace harassment and abuse, and a power to extend the protections to wider groups than employees and workers.

Sport England allocates funds to National Governing Bodies and grassroots sports providers primarily based on their ability to deliver against the aims set out in their ‘Uniting the Movement’ strategy around getting more people active, reducing the number of inactive people and tackling long-standing inequalities. This also includes The Movement Fund which invests over £20 million annually into community physical activity programmes.

We will ensure these communities are prioritised using deprivation and inactivity data.
An additional £15 million is being invested through Sport England into new delivery models across England in 2026/27, to allow more people to participate in their chosen sports.

Both organisations provide support to the sport and physical activity sector around safeguarding, including funding the Ann Craft Trust and the NSPCC’s Child Protection in Sport Unit who provide safeguarding standards and guidance.

Public Libraries
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Thursday 21st May 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to support local authorities in maintaining access to community library services. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) Local authorities are responsible for assessing the needs of their local communities and designing a library service to meet those needs within available resources, including how community libraries may form a part of that. Where a community library is part of the Local Authority service statutory network it can benefit from wider government initiatives such as the improved Local Government Finance Settlement for 2025-26, and could also benefit from library specific funding such as the Libraries Improvement Fund. In January 2026 the Secretary of State announced funding for Arts Everywhere which included a commitment of £27.5 million between 2025-2030 for the Libraries Improvement Fund which supports public libraries to upgrade their buildings and technology to meet changing needs to better serve their communities. |

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and local Trading Standards teams can take enforcement action against breaches of consumer protection law by online marketplaces.

Credit: Consumers
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Friday 22nd May 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions she has had with regulators on the affordability of consumer credit products. Answered by Rachel Blake - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury) The Government recognises that, when provided responsibly, credit can play an important role in helping people manage unexpected expenses and smooth their cash flow. Access to suitable, affordable credit products can support people’s financial resilience and help them achieve their financial goals. For this reason, the Government is committed to improving access to affordable credit. HM Treasury regularly engages with lenders and regulators on a range of policy matters, including how the provision of affordable credit can be strengthened.
The Government’s Financial Inclusion Strategy sets out an ambitious package of measures to improve access to affordable credit. The coordinated action of industry, civil society, governments, and regulators is key to delivering this. The Financial Inclusion Strategy includes support for the community finance sector and a pilot of a small-sum lending scheme, run by Fair4All Finance, which will test the offer of small value loans from a mainstream lender. HM Treasury will be participating in the Financial Conduct Authority’s Affordable Credit Workshop which builds on momentum from previous workshops held in partnership with Fair4All Finance and the Financial Inclusion Strategy, with a focus on identifying further opportunities to improve access to credit and agreeing any additional actions to take forward. |

Mortgages: Government Assistance
Asked by: Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party - Strangford) Friday 22nd May 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking to help support households facing increased mortgage costs. Answered by Rachel Blake - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury) The Government recognises the pressure facing mortgage borrowers across the UK. On 26 March 2026, the Chancellor met with the six largest mortgage lenders alongside UK Finance, to discuss the outlook for mortgage rates following the latest global developments. At this meeting, these lenders committed to proactively contact 1.6 million customers whose fixed-rate deals are due to end during 2026, setting out options well before payments change.
Lenders across the industry also reaffirmed their commitment to the Mortgage Charter. The Mortgage Charter is a voluntary agreement that covers 90% of the mortgage market and provides flexibilities to help borrowers manage their repayments over a short period. This includes permitting eligible borrowers to switch temporarily to interest-only payments, or extend their mortgage term, for six months, after which they can switch back without a new affordability check or affecting their credit score.

Answered by Chris McDonald - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) We are closely monitoring the impact of energy prices on businesses and community organisations caused by the instability in the Middle East, and much will depend on the length of the ongoing crisis. We are increasing the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant for properties heated by oil and LPG, taking the total grant to £9,000. This will help small businesses and organisations in England and Wales most impacted by rising energy prices, such as some theatres and performing arts venues, to electrify their heating and provide greater certainty over energy bills. |

DCMS has directly invested £3.2 million to continue four key cultural education initiatives in 2026/27: the Museums and Schools Programme, the Heritage Schools Programme, the BFI Film Academy, and the Art & Design National Saturday Club. These programmes help young people access creative opportunities, develop skills, and engage with culture both in and outside school. Additionally, The Music Hubs Programme, funded by the DfE and run by ACE, works through 43 Hub Lead Organisations across England.

Lastly, the government has announced Every Child Can, an investment of £132.5 million of dormant assets funding to increase disadvantaged young people’s access to enrichment opportunities in the arts, culture, sports and wider youth services.
