EU-UK Summit: Visa Waiver Agreement

Contribution

My Lords, as was said by the two previous speakers, the results of Brexit are causing absolute havoc with the abilities of our creatives to tour. I want to pick up the cabotage rules, which limit the number of stops a British vehicle can make in the EU to three. We hear a lot about rock tours, but actually our orchestras are being severely affected by this. The Royal Philharmonic says that the resources it is losing are directly impacting on its education programme. Can the Minister assure us that this is on the agenda in the UK-EU reset talks?
