Speeches by Foxcroft.

“Maddie, I am absolutely fascinated by your point about not making money from it. If you were paid the full advertising revenues, would you end up making money?”

“My question is about other forms of financing children’s content, and I am going to lump three parts of it together. First, what other routes do you think could be explored to increase private investment in children’s TV?

“Exactly, and that is one of the problems, as we both know.”

“On that point, you touched on a few things that you felt that Government could do, but is there anything else that that Government could do? When you were talking about the visas, can you say something on that as well?”

“Damian, I have the question that you are wanting to come in on. What are the impacts of recent and upcoming government legislation on the major events industry? I know you started on some of it on the Employment Rights Bill and so forth.”

“Brilliant. Overall, on the ticket sales, are you broadly happy with where things are, or are there other things that you think need to happen?”

“Fantastic. We have outlined a lot of the problems on what is happening with legislation, but how have you adapted and changed to deal with the changes that are coming about? We are all about solutions here.”

“In particular, on the working well together and back on to the Employment Rights Bill, are there opportunities where there are challenges there of working more collaboratively and together to go and tackle those challenges around lots of work at times and less work at other times?”

“Just to make sure that I tick the box of the third one before Damian comes in, you talked about policing costs for events’ organisers. What would you like to see come from this?”

“On that point, you touched on a few things that you felt that Government could do, but is there anything else that that Government could do? When you were talking about the visas, can you say something on that as well?”

“How have you dealt with the challenges of Brexit? That is leading into some of that.”

“On the tourist tax, what do you think are the pros and cons of that for you? Have you had any engagement with any mayors and so forth on that at this moment? I know that it is quite recent, but it has been spoken about for quite a bit of time before.”

“Exactly, and that is one of the problems, as we both know.”

“I should declare an interest. I have Millwall Football Club in my constituency.”
