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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what recent discussions she has had with representatives from the heritage sector on continuing access to imported specialist materials for restoration work after the UK leaves the EU.

Government fully recognises the value of our heritage, which makes an important contribution to our economy and well being. The Secretary of State and the Minister for Heritage have held round tables with sector representatives to assess the impact of leaving the EU on the heritage sector. The Department remains committed to working with the UK heritage sector to ensure that its needs and views are understood.
