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 ministerial colleagues on the role of teaching creative subjects in schools in addressing any potential skills gap in the creative industries when the UK leaves the EU.

The Secretary of State has regular discussions with ministerial colleagues on a range of issues relating to the creative industries, including skills and education. The creative industries are a focus of the Government’s Industrial Strategy Green Paper and Sir Peter Bazalgette is reviewing access to skills and talent as part of his sector review.
