Baroness Bakewell (Lab) [V]
My Lords, mention has already been made of the national institutions and their international reputations, as well as the spread of small-scale institutions and enterprises around the country and the importance of freelancers in that respect. Going forward, numerous small enterprises are still at risk, so may I suggest that the Government consider underwriting insurance for theatre productions in case they are forced to pause or close?
Baroness Barran
I am happy to take the noble Baroness’s suggestion back to the department.
