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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the potential effect on the travelling of orchestras and orchestral performers of new visa arrangements for people entering the UK from the EU after the UK leaves the EU.

The Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has held a series of roundtables with the sector on the impacts and opportunities affecting the creative industries as a result of the UK's exit from the EU, including representations from the music industry regarding the free movement of orchestras and musicians. The Department remains committed to working closely with the music sector on new arrangements after the UK leaves the EU.
