Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Foster of Bishop Auckland (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 14 July 2011.


Young People: Creative Industries

Question
Does the Minister realise that the creative industries were one of the most rapidly growing sectors throughout the north-east of England and that all five of the universities there have had a very fine record and are producing some first-class graduates? Is it not a tragedy that the whole of this sector is severely cutting back in employment because of the Government’s economic strategy?
Answer

My Lords, I do not see that to be the case. We do not have evidence of that at this time.
