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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will ensure that the next BBC Royal Charter reflects the recognition of the Kernewek in the Media Act 2024.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The BBC has a duty to reflect the diversity of the United Kingdom, both in its output and services. As set out in the recent Charter Review Green Paper, it is this Government’s ambition for the BBC to tell a unifying national story that represents all communities across the UK, and to drive growth in the nations and regions. This includes supporting the sustainability of minority language broadcasting and local media.

The Media Act ensures that, for the first time, indigenous and minority languages - including Cornish – form part of the public service remit for television in the UK, including for the BBC. It is for Ofcom, the independent regulator, to monitor compliance.

The Charter Review is considering a range of measures to ensure the BBC can continue to serve all audiences, including how it continues to support Minority Language Broadcasting.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of AI assistants and answer engines on traffic and revenue received by public-interest news publishers; and whether her Department is considering requirements relating to source attribution and links to original reporting.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

We recognise the impact on public interest news publishers of generative AI platforms and services, including AI assistants and answer engines, which risk diverting audiences and advertising revenue by presenting news summaries which limit the need to click through to news websites.

As set out in our Local Media Action Plan, published in March, these summaries can also be inaccurate or misleading, with one recent study finding that 81% of news-related responses from AI assistants contained issues relating to accuracy, editorialisation, sourcing errors or limited contextualisation. These summaries also risk distorting the market by drawing on a narrow range of prominent newsbrands. Over the long term, this risks further commercial harm to local media and other news providers, to public trust in news as a whole, and to the quality of news accessed by citizens.

The Action Plan committed to helping news providers adapt to the emerging challenges of AI-generated news summaries, and supporting a healthy licensing ecosystem while also working with industry to ensure proportionate transparency. We want to support all rights holders, including news publishers, to be able to license their work in the digital age, while allowing AI developers to benefit from access to creative material in the UK. Our taskforce on AI labelling will put forward proposals for Government on best practice to ensure consumers understand whether content has been made using AI. Alongside this, we will also publish a review of the mechanisms available for creators to control their works online. This will include standards, technical solutions and best practice on input transparency. This review will inform where there are gaps and whether there is an appropriate role for government in addressing them.

This builds on other work already underway in this area. The CMA recently imposed the first Conduct Requirement under the Digital Markets regime on publisher controls in Google Search and search advertising, aiming to ensure transparency, attribution and choice for publishers in how their content is used in Google’s AI services. We also welcome the news industry’s proactive efforts to address concerns in this area, including through the Standards for Publisher Usage Rights (SPUR) coalition, which is focused on bridging the gap between news publishers and AI developers and developing shared industry standards. SPUR has recently published a draft of a Content Telemetry standard, an open standard which enables publishers and content owners to directly understand how AI systems are using their content.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

As of 1 July 2026, 46 full-time civil servants at the Department work compressed hours over a four-day week. This represents 4.0% of the Department’s 1,158 civil servants. Figures do not include staff currently on a career break.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department has made an assessment of the adequacy of the Gambling Commission’s licensing checks in identifying whether gambling software providers supply unlicensed gambling websites.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The Gambling Commission, as the independent regulator for gambling, has responsibility for making decisions around licensing.

As part of its regulatory approach, the Gambling Commission assesses applicants against the statutory licensing objectives and may take compliance and enforcement action where it identifies evidence of breaches of licence conditions or other regulatory requirements. This includes where operators or gambling software licensees are found to be supplying the illegal gambling market.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, when her Department last conducted a resilience test of public service broadcasting infrastructure against the scenario of a national telecommunications network failure.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The Government understands how important it is that everyone can access information in times of national emergency. Television and radio both play an important role in providing such access in a range of different emergency scenarios, including scenarios where other communications may be disrupted.

The BBC has specific requirements under its Framework Agreement in relation to broadcast security and resilience, and works closely with DCMS in ensuring its infrastructure is able to support emergency communications.

Detailed planning and preparations for a range of risks in the National Risk Register is an operational matter for the BBC. The BBC has informed DCMS that there are robust plans and procedures in place, which are tested regularly, for maintaining resilient communications to the public via its TV and radio broadcast networks including live tests of its broadcast systems.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to improve access to arts and culture for young people in the West Midlands.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The Government is committed to ensuring that all children and young people can access high-quality arts and culture.

Between 2023/24 and 2025/26, Arts Council England invested over £170 million in arts organisations and projects across the West Midlands, including almost £40 million supporting children and young people. This funding supports initiatives such as Powered by CAN in Sandwell, which develops creative opportunities and career pathways; Big Brum Theatre in Education, one of the most established Theatre in Education companies in the UK; and Wolverhampton’s City of Youth Culture programme, helping more young people engage with arts, culture and creative activities across the region.

Nationally, the government is committed to revitalising arts education through a reformed curriculum and support for teachers, including via the new National Centre for Arts and Music Education, due to be established by September 2026. To increase access to enrichment opportunities across culture, sport, and wider youth sectors for disadvantaged young people, the Every Child Can programme, backed by £132.5 million in dormant assets through the National Lottery Community Fund, will fund activities within schools and in communities at weekends and in the holidays, ensuring enrichment is a common entitlement for all.

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

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether age-verification tools used by gambling operators and social media platforms are effective in preventing children seeing gambling promotions.

Answered by Baroness Twycross - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

We are committed to taking action on illegal gambling. This includes working with tech platforms and social media companies through our Illegal Gambling Taskforce, to help tackle the advertising of illegal gambling. We plan to report on the progress made by the Illegal Gambling Taskforce once it has completed its first year.

Advertising of gambling products and services, including on social media, must be carried out in a socially responsible way. Advertising codes also require operators to ensure targeting is used responsibly, utilising tools available on platforms to exclude under-18s and other vulnerable groups from exposure wherever possible.

The Online Advertising Taskforce supports the aims of DCMS to improve transparency and accountability in the online advertising supply chain. It will deliver a programme of work to help address illegal advertising and minimise children being served advertising for products and services illegal to sell to them.

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

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

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to enhance the competitiveness of the UK tourism and hospitality industry within the European market.

Answered by Baroness Twycross - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

The Government is committed to ensuring the UK tourism and hospitality industry remains highly competitive within the European market. We work closely with VisitBritain, the national tourist board, to showcase Britain as a premier holiday destination to European visitors.

To capitalise on the growing trend of screen tourism and drive inbound visits, VisitBritain launched its global "Starring Great Britain" campaign in January 2025. This initiative leverages the UK’s rich film and television heritage to inspire travelers to explore diverse locations, including rural and coastal destinations. The campaign was backed by targeted advertising across our most valuable inbound visitor markets, including key European nations such as France and Germany.

In addition, VisitBritain's in market teams connect global buyers with regional suppliers in key markets to sell regional Britain internationally and grow inbound travel. In 2024/25 their trade programme generated 4,456 new business for UK suppliers, and just under £100 million for the UK economy.

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

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the financial support available to athletes selected to represent Great Britain in karate at European and World Championship level competitions.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The Government is fully committed to our elite sport system and enabling our athletes to achieve their potential and excel on the world stage.

As Karate is not part of the Olympic and Paralympic programme it does not receive funding from UK Sport.

The British Karate Federation, supported by Karate England, together offers financial support for elite athletes.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department has taken and what mechanisms are being used to ensure that Article 15 of the 2025 UK-EU Common Understanding Agreement on cultural exchange and touring matters is being upheld.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The Common Understanding from the inaugural UK-EU Summit in May 2025 notes that the UK and EU are committed to cultural and artistic exchange, including through the activities of touring artists. This is a priority, as set out in the Government’s manifesto.

To deliver this commitment, we regularly engage with the EU institutions and Member States, as well as music and arts industry stakeholders, to determine the most effective ways to foster cultural exchange and support touring artists who wish to perform across the European continent. Our engagement has led to improvements in individual EU Member States, for instance the recent removal of visa and work authorisation certificate requirements for touring artists and technical staff for stays of less than three months in Croatia.

On 24 March, I co-chaired the first UK-European Commission High-Level Meeting on Culture with Commissioner Micallef (Intergenerational Fairness, Youth, Culture and Sport) to support UK-EU cultural cooperation. I also attended an industry panel session at the European Parliament, hosted by MEPs Hannes Heide and Bogdan Zdrojewski in collaboration with the Cultural Exchange Coalition, focused on strengthening UK-EU cultural exchange, including removing barriers to cross-border touring.

I welcome the European Commission’s new EU Visa Strategy, which commits to exploring practical flexibilities for touring artists, specialist crew, and hauliers within the existing Schengen framework. This Government is also modernising cross-border infrastructure to simplify processes and reduce administrative burdens. Most notably, we have launched HMRC’s digital ATA carnets pilot on 1 June, in collaboration with EU Member States, Switzerland, and Norway, enabling touring artists and their crews to move equipment temporarily without the burden of customs duties.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what role she considers broadcast infrastructure plays in ensuring that the Government can communicate with the public during national emergencies.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The government understands how important it is that citizens can access information in times of national emergency. Resilient radio and television play an important role in a range of different emergency scenarios.

The BBC has specific requirements under its Framework Agreement in relation to broadcast security and resilience, and works closely with DCMS in ensuring its infrastructure is able to support emergency communications.

DCMS works with the Cabinet Office and other Departments to ensure the BBC’s public emergency messaging capabilities are integrated into wider cross government resilience planning.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions her Department has had with the British Museum on public-facing signage changes referencing Palestine, Palestinian and Israelite occupation.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The British Museum is curatorially independent of the Government. Decisions on signage and object labelling are made by curatorial experts at the Museum.

DCMS officials have discussed these matters with British Museum officials to understand the Museum’s decision. We note the Museum’s public statements made in February 2026, which explain the curatorial justifications for two recent changes.

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

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to their plans to lower the voting age to 16, whether they plan to amend the definition of children in section 20 of the Licensing Act 2003 on the exhibition of films from a person aged under 18 to a person aged under 16.

Answered by Baroness Twycross - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

Lowering the voting age will have no impact on the definition of children in the Licensing Act 2003. There is no single definition of the age at which someone becomes an ‘adult’ in the UK; the idea of 18 being the ’standard’ age of adulthood is a misconception. People can work part time from 14, donate blood at 17, and adopt at 21.

Decisions about classifying films are made by the British Board of Film Classification at arm's length from the government to ensure impartiality. The BBFC’s age ratings are continually updated to respond to changing social attitudes towards media content through public consultation and research.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department has held discussions with Comcast Corporation on the potential acquisition of ITV plc since 5 July 2024.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

Under the Enterprise Act 2002, if a merger meets the necessary thresholds, the Secretary of State has a quasi-judicial role and can intervene on public interest grounds to refer the merger to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). It would not be appropriate to comment on any live discussions regarding a potential media merger.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the National Youth Strategy on levels of youth participation in out-of-school activities.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

We’re working closely across government to expand access to meaningful and enriching activities as we know that strong offline connections between young people are essential to supporting their wellbeing and their development.

In December 2025, DCMS published ‘Youth Matters’, a ten-year cross Government Strategy to ensure every young person across the country has someone who cares, something to do and somewhere to go. It includes a clear ambition to half the participation gap in enriching activities between disadvantaged young people and their peers. It is funded by over £500 million from DCMS, which includes funding for youth spaces where young people can come together, enriching opportunities inside and outside of school, as well as for social action projects which young people can deliver in their communities.

We are working closely with Other Government Departments to ensure the successful delivery and accountability of the National Youth Strategy, which will include assessing the impact of our funded programmes.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how the £500 million allocated to the National Youth Strategy will be profiled over the spending period; and what steps she is taking to ensure the funding is spent equitably across regions.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

Youth Matters will be focussed on ensuring young people have someone who cares, something to do and somewhere to go. The majority of our funding will be targeted to underserved areas who need it most. We are committed to working with areas of greatest need across the length and breadth of England. Following ongoing feedback and engagement with front line delivery organisations and young people, we are looking to merge our major youth funds and establish a much more straightforward funding system for youth through one interface, focusing on providing opportunities to young people when and where they need them.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of links between loneliness and mental health issues, particularly among younger people aged between 16 - 35.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

Loneliness can be experienced by anyone at any time, however we know that certain groups are at higher risk, including those aged 16-34. Research also highlights that the relationship between loneliness and mental health issues can be bi-directional, with loneliness leading to poor mental health and mental health issues leading to loneliness. Mental health issues among young people have risen sharply over the past decade, and it is crucial that measures are put in place to address this.

This Government is taking significant action to tackle loneliness among young people, recognising its direct impact on mental health and wellbeing. In line with our commitment to raising the healthiest generation of children, our 10 Year Health Plan sets out how we will work with schools and colleges to better identify and meet children's mental health needs by continuing to roll out mental health support teams in schools and colleges, with an accelerated target of achieving full national coverage by the end of 2029.

Raising awareness and reducing stigma is a core part of our approach to tackling loneliness and improving mental health, including through the Better Health: Every Mind Matters campaign. We have also published the Social Connection Framework to help professionals identify boys and young men who are at risk and are working to ensure half a million more young people have access to a trusted adult outside the home by 2035. Alongside this, the £2.5 billion Youth Guarantee will create up to 500,000 earn-and-learn opportunities, recognising that being out of work increases the risk of isolation and loneliness.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what alternative sources of finance and support are available from HM Government for organisations and events previously served by the Business Events Growth Programme.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

DCMS recognises the significant economic contribution of business events, which facilitate trade and investment, support jobs and generate visitor spending across the UK. Industry data reveals that UK conferences and meetings generated an estimated £22.5 billion for the national economy in 2025, an increase from £19.3 billion in 2024 with the UK events industry expected to grow 3–5% annually.

DCMS sets the strategic priorities for the British Tourist Authority (trading as VisitBritain/VisitEngland). In line with those priorities, VisitEngland delivers its MeetEngland programme, which provides platforms for destinations to connect with buyers and bring international events to the UK. VisitEngland are supported in their efforts by local authorities, mayoral strategic authorities and destination partners including venues and event organisers.

Consideration of how best to support the sector going forward will be included in the upcoming strategies for both Major Events and the Visitor Economy.

DCMS recognises the significant economic contribution of business events, which facilitate trade and investment, support jobs and generate visitor spending across the UK. Industry data reveals that UK conferences and meetings generated an estimated £22.5 billion for the national economy in 2025, an increase from £19.3 billion in 2024 with the UK events industry expected to grow 3–5% annually.

DCMS sets the strategic priorities for the British Tourist Authority (trading as VisitBritain/VisitEngland). In line with those priorities, VisitEngland delivers its MeetEngland programme, which provides platforms for destinations to connect with buyers and bring international events to the UK. VisitEngland are supported in their efforts by local authorities, mayoral strategic authorities and destination partners including venues and event organisers.

Consideration of how best to support the sector going forward will be included in the upcoming strategies for both Major Events and the Visitor Economy.

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

To ask His Majesty's Government, in light of the sale of a mummified human head and a dangerous tribal skull from Borneo by On the Square Emporium Ltd in Belfast, whether they have any plans to restrict the sale of human remains by auction houses.

Answered by Baroness Twycross - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

The Government is aware of the distress caused by the sale of human remains, via auction or any other means, and finds this activity abhorrent.

Under the current framework it is for auction houses to decide whether to prohibit sales of human remains, taking into account their own professional standards. We expect those involved to strongly consider the ethical implications of this activity. All human remains should be treated with respect and dignity.

We recognise that further work is needed to understand these specific issues and their scope. We remain committed to exploring ways to protect the safety and dignity of the deceased, including the treatment of human remains over 100 years old.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will make it her policy to facilitate the answering of written Parliamentary Questions by Hon Members about operational matters of Arts Council of England, by copying or depositing the reply from those public bodies via the sponsoring Minister.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

As noted in the Cabinet Office Guide to Parliamentary Work, there is no provision for arm’s length bodies such as Arts Council England (ACE) to provide a reply directly to Written Parliamentary Questions (WPQs). DCMS strives to provide full responses to all WPQs from Honourable Members, including those about operational matters at ACE, with whom we work closely. ACE also has a range of publicly available data resources, including its National Investment Dashboard and annual National Portfolio Organisation survey results.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what recent progress she has made on establishing a working group on independent and smaller creative organisations on the impact of AI on creators, and when she expects the working group to hold its first meeting.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

We are in the process of establishing the working group, and have reached out to prospective members including independent creatives, creative industries trade and member organisations, and individuals with expertise in law and licensing.

We are now confirming membership and aim to hold the first meeting this month, subject to participants’ availability.

The group will help us understand how creatives are experiencing the evolving AI licensing market, and whether there are appropriate mechanisms in place to ensure individual creators and right holders are appropriately represented in it.

This will sit alongside other workstreams we are progressing on AI and copyright including a consultation on digital replicas, a new taskforce to put forward proposals for government on best practice for labelling AI-generated content, and a review of the mechanisms available for creators to control their works online.

In launching the UK Town of Culture competition, the government announced that each of the shortlisted towns will receive £60,000 to help deliver full bids for competition, the winner will receive a £3 million prize; and two runners up will receive £250,000.

The competition is still underway and so the administration and assessment costs are yet to be determined.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to support grassroot music venues.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

Grassroots music venues are vital to the UK’s music culture, offering emerging artists a platform, supporting local economies and jobs, and giving thousands the joy of live music up close. We are committed to supporting the sustainability of the entire live music ecosystem and will soon publish a Music Plan, drawing together all that the government is doing to support the music industry.

The Government’s Creative Industries Sector Plan announced our Music Growth Package to strengthen grassroots infrastructure (including grassroots music venues), support emerging artists and music professionals, and boost exports, breaking down barriers to success at home and abroad. In addition, since April every pub and live music venue has received 15% off its new business rates bill on top of the support announced at Budget, and bills will be frozen in real terms for a further two years.

The Government also supports the live music industry’s work to introduce a voluntary £1 contribution on tickets for stadium and arena shows, to help safeguard the future of the grassroots music sector. We welcome steps taken by industry to set up the LIVE Trust to distribute funds from the ticket levy, and commitments made by artists to support grassroots music. The trust has distributed over £500k levy funding to industry programmes and is projected to receive a total of £10m in 2026.

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

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the geographic distribution of Expressions of Interest received.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

DCMS received 398 Expression of Interests representing over 400 places from across the UK. I am delighted that so many towns wanted to celebrate their contribution to our national story and to use culture and creativity to tell their story and why they are proud of their community.

A breakdown by nation of the UK, English region and local authority area is set out below. Please note that the listed local authorities may not be the principal bidding partners; this list illustrates the geographical distribution of Expressions of Interest across local authority areas.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what estimate she has made of the cost to consumers of ticket touts operating in the UK.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The Government recognises that UK consumers have been exploited by ticket touts for too long, which is why we have announced new measures to put fans back at the heart of live events and eliminate the scourge of industrial scale ticket touting. We will publish a draft bill for pre-legislative scrutiny, allowing us to draw on expertise from across Parliament and industry, in order to ensure that the legislation is effective, enforceable, and future-proof. Our published analysis suggests that these measures could save consumers around £112 million annually.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what estimate she has made of her Department’s (a) capital and (b) revenue spending across youth facilities and activities programmes in (i) 2023/4, (ii) 2024/5, (iii) 2025/6 and (iv) 2026/7.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The following amounts of capital and revenue were spent on the Department’s youth facilities and activities programme between 2023/24 and 2025/26. Details of 2026/7 spending will be published in due course.

In 2023/4, spending was £119.6m (£42.3m capital and £77.3m revenue).

In 2024/5 spending was £243.3m (£141.3m capital and £101.9m revenue).

In 2025/6, spending was £123.7m (£73.6m capital and £50.1m revenue).

2024/25 was the peak delivery year for the Youth Investment Fund, which has run over a 5 year period, with spend reflecting the natural phasing of capital programmes as projects hit completion.

“Youth Matters: Your National Youth Strategy” is backed by £500 million of funding in this spending review period. This funding will respond to what young people need where they need it, providing something to do, somewhere to go and someone to talk to. This funding is complemented by a range of funding committed by other departments. We are committed to increasing this Government investment in young people and are exploring opportunities to work with philanthropists, social impact investors, and businesses on key priorities to deliver more and improve outcomes.

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to help support film and television production in Glasgow.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The Government is committed to growing the UK screen sector across all nations. Glasgow, identified as a high-potential creative cluster in the Creative Industries Sector Plan, is well placed to benefit from the Government's £75 million Screen Growth Package.

This includes the UK Global Screen Fund, with Scottish-led co-productions securing significant awards and Screen Scotland contributing to the Fund's Advisory Board. The British Film Institute also supports Scotland's screen sector through UK-wide funding, including the National Lottery Skills Cluster, which helps address skills and crew shortages.

We are also investing in skills through the National Film and Television School, including its Glasgow hub at BBC Scotland's Pacific Quay and the Edinburgh-based Sean Connery Talent Lab. This complements our refreshed £9 million Creative Careers Programme, which was piloted in Scotland.

We continue to work with Screen Scotland and the wider sector to strengthen screen production across Scotland and the UK, supported by stable and competitive tax reliefs that benefit all nations. The BBC Charter Review also provides an opportunity to support the BBC's central role in Scotland's screen economy.
