Written Answers
Tourism: Weather Asked by: Sarah Edwards (Labour - Tamworth) Thursday 26th March 2026 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the potential financial impact on outdoor visitor attractions, including zoos like Chester Zoo and theme parks like Drayton Manor, from the presentation of weather forecasts that use a single icon to summarise whole-day conditions. Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) DCMS recognises the vital role outdoor visitor attractions play in the UK’s visitor economy. These sites, ranging from world-leading zoos and theme parks to historic gardens, contribute to regional investment, local employment and often support learning and biodiversity conservation. At this time, DCMS has not made a specific assessment of the potential financial impact of digital weather forecasting on outdoor visitor attractions. The Government is aware of the concerns raised by the sector regarding how these forecasts can influence visitor behaviour, including the recent campaign led by Chester Zoo. My department continues to represent the interests of the visitor economy across Government and my officials are engaged on this matter. This includes membership of the Public Weather Service (PWS) Customer Group. This Group has been working closely with the Met Office to strengthen the focus on supporting the outdoor economy, including the visitor economy. More broadly, I remain committed to maintaining a close and constructive dialogue with industry representatives to ensure the visitor economy continues to thrive.

Select Committee Inquiry
8 Apr 2026 UK trade with the EU Business and Trade Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 18 May 2026) At a Joint Summit in May 2025, the UK and EU agreed to a Security and Defence Partnership, and published a “Common Understanding”, setting out shared commitments to deepen cooperation. Progress since that initial summit has been limited, with core areas for agreement still to conclude. The Business and Trade Committee therefore wishes to assess the delivery and expected benefits of the Government’s EU reset to date, and to examine whether the current approach is the right model to achieve the UK’s aims.
8 Apr 2026 UK trade with the US Business and Trade Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 18 May 2026) The Business and Trade Committee is conducting its bi-annual stock take on the UK-US economic and trade agreements, building on its baseline report US Economic Prosperity Deal (HC 1306, 2024–26). Since that report, the Economic Prosperity Deal (EPD) framework has been extended through a Technology Prosperity Deal (TPD) and an agreement on pharmaceutical tariffs. The Committee invites evidence on what has been delivered, and the priorities for future UK-US collaboration.
