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

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to improve communications between the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and external stakeholders.

DCMS recognises the importance of building and maintaining external relationships for the public benefit and is always looking at ways to improve its communications. DCMS works hard to ensure it has strong and varied relationships in all areas of the country and across all relevant sectors. This includes the delivery of regular regional stakeholder events, receptions and roundtables to present the government's plans for change and to engage stakeholders in policy design and delivery and also has regular communications with stakeholders virtually.
