Pleased to speak at the Creative Industries General Debate, where I emphasised the importance of our creative sectors.
They provide the news that informs our democracy, the events and shows that showcase our talent, and the films and art that we all love to see.
The imagination of our designers, writers, artists and creators is world leading and brings joy, inspiration and opportunity to our lives.
I'm proud of the Conservatives record in backing our creative industries and I urge HM Treasury to think again about the impact of their Budget choices on the sector.
