Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
What recent assessment he has made of the financial effect of the covid-19 outbreak on people working in the large entertainment events industry.
We appreciate that the entertainment and events sector has been significantly affected by COVID19. That’s why the Government has maintained a regular dialogue with the sectors via various working groups since the outbreak of the pandemic.
We have undertaken assessments of the financial impact of the pandemic through the DCMS Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact Business Survey, which is available on GOV.UK.
