Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 29 October 2025

Debate

Youth Mobility Scheme

Contribution

I was doing so well in reassuring noble Lords, but I am afraid that I will have to give a level of disappointment to the noble Baroness. We are not currently considering rejoining the creative arm. However, 40% of touring artists are under the age of 35, meaning that they would be able to access work for up to three years, subject to the negotiations, via the youth mobility scheme. So that is one way in which we can encourage creative engagement.
