Creative Europe

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions her Department has had with the creative industries on joining Creative Europe.

Answered by Chris Bryant

The UK is not part of Creative Europe, and has not been since the UK left the European Union.

This government has not proposed any plans to rejoin Creative Europe, though we are committed to finding constructive ways to work with the EU and deliver for the British people on shared priorities and global challenges.

We recognise the UK’s creative and cultural sectors provide a unique and valuable contribution to Europe’s diverse cultural landscape. We are working with our world-leading sectors to ensure that they can continue to promote growth and enrich lives, at home and abroad, including through initiatives such as the £7 million UK Global Screen Fund, and the £1.6 million Music Export Growth Scheme.
