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

Whether he plans to deliver a support package for the (a) music industry and (b) culture sector affected by the covid-19 outbreak.

We recognise that these are incredibly challenging times for the music industry and broader culture sector. As well as supporting them through an unprecedented package of Government support for businesses and individuals, DCMS has made available a £160m Emergency Funding Package via Arts Council England, made possible by Government funding.

We are working hard with the sectors to consider the additional support that may be needed to support the long-term recovery of the sector.
