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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment her Department has made of the effect of the UK leaving the EU on (a) UK and (b) non-UK EU touring musicians.

Since the referendum we have held a series of ministerial meetings and roundtables with the creative industries on the impact and opportunities of the UK leaving the EU. These meetings have included input from the UK music industry on the impact of leaving the EU on touring musicians.

We are committed to supporting and promoting a thriving live music industry and ensuring the continued growth of this vital and vibrant sector.
