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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to ensure the UK's continued participation in the Sectoral Social Dialogue Committees on (a) live performance and (b) audio-visual after the UK leaves the EU.

European organisations, who are the social partners that contribute and engage with the Sectoral Social Dialogue Committee are not restricted to organisations that are within the EU. For example, the EBU (European Broadcasting Union), which represents 73 public service broadcasters in 56 Countries, participates in the Sectoral Social Dialogue Committee for Audio-visual. Insofar as UK organisations are represented in the social partners, we expect no change to the continued participation
