COP27

"The Prime Minister is very proud of the £11.5 billion that he keeps talking about and that has been pledged, but where will it actually be disbursed? If the aid budget is being cut, surely it will come at the expense of other equally valid and equally important projects. How …..."

Departure of Previous Home Secretary

"Increased immigration would tackle labour shortages and increase the tax take and ending the hostile environment would vastly improve Government efficiency.

Written Question
Musicians: British Nationals Abroad
Monday 5th September 2022

Asked by: Patrick Grady (Scottish National Party - Glasgow North)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent discussions the Minister for Brexit Opportunities and Government Efficiency has had with representatives of the music industry in (a) Scotland and (b) the UK on the potential impact of Brexit on the ability of musicians to (i) tour for performances and (ii) sell merchandise within the European Union.

Answered by Jacob Rees-Mogg

The Minister for Brexit Opportunities does not meet music industry representatives on this issue, as this falls largely within the remit of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport.

The Government is committed to supporting the touring sector to adapt to new arrangements with the EU. We have worked with the sector and directly with Member States to clarify arrangements, press for specific changes from Member States, and introduce unilateral measures where possible.

Government ministers and officials regularly engage with the music sector, including on the important issue of touring. This includes the DCMS-led touring group, which last met in June 2022, with attendance from the former DCMS Minister for Media, Data and Digital Infrastructure, officials from across government and devolved authorities, and representatives of the creative and cultural sectors.

Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Bill

"What we are hearing, especially from Government Members, is continued Westminster exceptionalism: that this place, particularly the Executive, once elected, knows what is best. That is why I raised the comparison with the devolved institutions, which operate to strict fixed terms. If they are to devolve early, that has to …..."
