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

To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to the UK joining the AgoraEU programme.

Future EU programmes, such as AgoraEU, are still subject to internal EU procedures and are currently being negotiated between Member States and EU institutions.

We recognise the UK’s creative and cultural sectors provide a unique and valuable contribution to Europe’s rich culture. However, we will only join an EU programme where it is in the national interest and value for money for UK taxpayers to do so.
