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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what recent assessment she has made of the effectiveness of Creative Europe in facilitating international professional networks for the creative industries over the last five years.

As with all EU funds, we are carefully considering the impact and effectiveness of the investments made through Creative Europe. International cooperation is integral to maintaining our world class creative industries sector, and we will ensure that they are able to continue to cooperate with international partners after we exit the EU.
