Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy on the progress of the creative industries sector deal.

We are committed to agreeing and publishing sector deals as soon as both sides are content to do so. DCMS continue to work closely with BEIS and the Creative Industries to deliver an ambitious deal to increase growth and productivity.
