Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of introducing a Government-backed insurance scheme for live events.
This question was answered on 26th October 2020
We are aware that there are calls for a Government backed insurance scheme for live events. I am grateful for the evidence provided and I know DCMS and HMT colleagues are closely monitoring the situation together with the sector.
We are continuing to meet with live events stakeholders to provide support and guidance for venues to re-open and stage live events.
