8 Jul 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1132)

Interestingly, France has a seasonal workers plan for British people to be able to work on ski resorts and so on, which lots of people would not even know about.

At the Grange Festival the other day, they had “Les Indes galantes”, the French production of the Rameau opera, which is a combination of hip-hop with 18th century music. Apparently it was an absolutely storming success. Those kinds of intersections are important. In the UK, we sit at the crossroads of the nations. Som

Well, half of it is new and half of it is old.

Sorry, I do not know enough about the copyright hub. Alastair might know more; I think he was in the Department.

Well, that is new, but not to this. It is part of the wider Government since the general election last year.

He is even less involved, whereas at least I had responsibility for a while.

I hate to say that I will write to you, but I will have to write to you, because when we are doing it is not in my head. I did not think we would be talking about it today.

Well, that was the previous Government.

Oh no, we have a plan for change.

We have been giving £1 million for the last few years, and we have not made a firm commitment yet about what we will end up doing.

This is not just a brief encounter; for many people it is a matter of life and death, and in the end there is hunger for change. I hope that by the matter of persuasion, you will accept that we a

Of course, but who are the creators in the film and TV industry? They are actors, designers, writers, hair and make-up, cinematographers—they are an enormously wide group of people. Some of them are freelancers. Those are some of the things that we want to take forward with the freelance champion. We will be looking at

I was going through the list, having read the contribution from the Chair in the statement last week, and I thought it was a little unfair to call me “Dr No”.

For instance, we are moving on R&D. We are not completely scrapping the concept of R&D and writing a whole new version, but later on this year we will produce an answer that I think leans more into a version of what the Select Committee has said about it. On the apprenticeship levy, likewise: it is a well-made point th
