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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of the loss of freedom of movement on the UK entertainment sector.

Government is continuing to work closely with stakeholders from across the creative industries to fully understand the potential impacts and opportunities of the UK’s exit from the European Union, which includes the ability of the UK entertainment sector to work and tour across Europe.

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 the issues for the creative industries.

We want to continue to build on the success of the UK entertainment industry and are committed to supporting industry performance across the world.
