Creative Europe

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of the UK rejoining Creative Europe.

Answer

The Government keeps abreast of many EU and international funding programmes across many sectors of the economy. Where participation is deemed in the national interest - including in terms of value for money and economic impact - the Government seeks to negotiate UK participation. This has been the case for instance regarding Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe. However, the Government has no plans to join Creative Europe at this time.
