Liberal Democrat — Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 January 2025

Debate

Creative Industries

Contribution

I observe no Paddington stare. The point is well made about young people starting off and growing into the creative industries. The pantomimes and local amateur dramatics that I get involved in are the seedcorn of these things by getting kids on stage, but does the Minister agree that if the local newspapers go down—and so many of them are in danger right across the UK—those things will not get the publicity and support that helps to grow the industry?
