We received 1,086 responses to this consultation; remarkably, the same number as in the 2019 consultation, despite the foreshortened period of engagement. I am very grateful to all who took the time to attend the consultation workshops (on-line as necessitated by COVID-19 restrictions) and to respond. As I hope this report shows, we have listened to the many and various views expressed and refined and improved our proposals as a result. Perhaps the greatest number of comments centred on whether to proceed with regulation at this time or to delay it. I am continuing to press ahead with these proposals now and the secondary legislation will be laid at the Scottish Parliament in December.

  • The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP Prime Minister, First Lord of the Treasury
    The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP Prime Minister, First Lord of the Treasury, Minister for the Civil Service, and Minister for the Union 10 Downing St, Westminster London SW1A 2AA 27 April 2021 Dear Prime Minister, As representative organisations in the creative industries, we are writing in response to your evidence session with the Liaison Committee on 24 March and the promise you made to fix the crisis we find ourselves in following the completion of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). You clearly understand the deep frustration felt by our sector now that it is virtually impossible for many creative professionals to work in Europe on a short term or freelance basis. As you know the UK creative industries are incredibly successful, generating £111bn per annum for the UK economy. They also of course add hugely to the UK’s profile and soft power. We were delighted to hear you make a firm commitment to address the range of issues which have arisen as a result of the TCA in relation to visas, work permits, moving goods and people. The creative industries need you to deliver on this pledge otherwise work will be lost and businesses will go under. The sector will do everything it can to assist you and your Government, therefore we would welcome more detail on how your commitment will be delivered in terms of practical steps going forward. Senior leaders in our sector have had numerous meetings with civil servants, where we have presented a range of workable solutions. However, we are extremely concerned by the lack of progress which has been achieved over the last three months to unravel the mountain of costly bureaucracy and red tape which now faces the creative industries.
