The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what consideration she has given to rejoining Creative Europe.

Answered by Ian Murray

We recognise the UK’s creative and cultural sectors provide a unique and valuable contribution to Europe’s rich culture. We also understand the value of UK–EU cooperation through EU programmes – this is why we have associated to Horizon Europe, Copernicus and Erasmus+.

However, we have no intention to rejoin Creative Europe at this time.
