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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what plans his Department has to ensure that UK musicians can tour the EU after the UK leaves the EU.

The Department is working closely with the music industry to better understand the potential impacts of the UK’s exit from the European Union (EU) on UK musicians being able to tour the EU. .

In addition, we are working closely with the Home Office, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and the Department for Exiting the European Union (DExEU) to ensure that they are well informed of these issues.

We want to continue to build on the success of the live music scene and are committed to supporting artists perform across the world to ensure the continued growth of this vital and vibrant sector.
