  • Open Letter to the Pm to Be Signed by Mps and Peers
    OPEN LETTER TO THE PM TO BE SIGNED BY MPS AND PEERS The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP Prime Minister Office of the Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London, SW1A 2AA May 2020 Dear Prime Minister Subject: OPEN LETTER FROM MPS & PEERS: COVID-19: THEATRE & THE PERFORMING ARTS SECTOR, WHAT’S NEEDED FOR SURVIVAL & RECOVERY Whilst we know you are considering how best to protect and support many areas of the economy, this letter summarises the current and future impact of COVID-19 on performing arts businesses around the UK and calls on you and your teams in DCMS, Treasury and BEIS to take action on what is needed immediately; and over the coming months to rescue the sector and allow theatre to contribute to the future success of the UK. The performing arts’ contribution to the UK: economic & social British theatre (from drama to musical theatre to opera to dance) is a world-class cultural and economic force with British theatrical productions filling cultural venues and theatres from Broadway to Beijing. From small studios to big-budget stages, theatre and the performing arts are part of the fabric of British life. Towns, villages and cities the breadth of the UK have and use theatres for more than seeing a show – they are spaces for many different groups in community to come together to learn, socialise and create. As you know, the creative industries are a motor of growth in local economies from the South East to the North West, from Yorkshire and the Humber to the West Midlands. Theatre’s workforce of 290,000 people includes 70% who are self-employed and move freely between scales and sectors.

  • Aviation Support Letter to Chancellor of Exchequer
    Rt. Hon Rishi Sunak MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury London SW1A 2HQ 28 March 2020 Dear Chancellor, As you know, the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on UK aviation has been severe and truly unprecedented. Global demand has collapsed, with markets with severe travel restrictions now covering 98% of global passenger revenues. Across UK airports, passenger numbers are approaching near zero. IATA’s headline statistic on the economic impact has more than doubled with industry passenger revenues expected to fall globally by $252 billion, or 44% below 2019 revenues. Restrictions have all but eliminated airline and airport revenue, but not costs, which are substantial and go far beyond solely wages. It remains unclear what the duration of the economic impact will be on the UK’s airlines and airports, who face a pressing challenge to survive. It is essential that they do. The UK has a world-class aviation sector and the third-largest aviation market in the world. UK aviation supports some 1.6m UK jobs across our nations and regions – including in the tourism industry. It is one of our truly international sectors. In short, aviation plays a huge role in our national and economic life, and a healthy, competitive, UK aviation sector will be essential to support the recovery of the wider UK economy once this crisis has passed. We welcome the cross-economy measures you have announced to date which will make a real difference to all businesses. But given the scale of the impact on aviation, they alone will not be enough and you have righty indicated that further industry-wide measures will be considered to both support the sector through the crisis, and enable its recovery.
