No, exactly. Josh, you mentioned that Sport England is advocating for a more refined consultee role. Have you considered specific ways to reform rather than remove your role?

We are talking about the Theatres Trust but, as Michael has alluded to, this applies to the whole of the creative and cultural sector.

We will look forward to receiving that. The Government are proposing this because of councils’ and developers’ frustrations with the consultee system. What other improvements can be made? Have you any further suggestions?

14 Jul 2025 West Coast Main Line

I thank my hon. Friend for securing this important debate; I too travel on the west coast main line. Does he agree that there is a common public misconception that HS2 was just about faster train journeys to London, when in reality it was about capacity issues? Does he also agree that the project should have started in

13 Jul 2025 Future of the Post Office

I welcome the Minister’s statement, and the announcement of a national dialogue about the future of our Post Office. As a fellow Co-operative party Member, I welcome the model of mutualisation, which would also suit our local branch. Given the decline of Leigh’s high street, the announcement of changes to our main post

How can you reassure subsectors that have raised concerns that the sector plan is just for the frontier industries and not the whole creative industries? As you know, we have done a survey and have had some feedback from that.

Caroline, do you think that there are any subsectors that could have had a strong case to be a frontier industry?

Baroness Vadera, how did you decide on the four frontier industries specifically?

Will you limit it to four?

Is that the reassurance: that you are saying “Wait for more announcements”?

What would you say to businesses that feel like the frontier industries that have been picked are those that DCMS intervene in regularly anyway? What would you say to those industries? That is some of the feedback that we have seen and received.

That goes to my next question. The focus of the plan is obviously investment in growth. How would you reassure creators that it also supports them? I think it goes back to the criticisms that we have heard. You are saying that there are other things that will come into play, so do you admit that there is further to do
