The Culture Media and Sport Parliamentary (CMS) Committee is calling for written submissions on creative industries, tourism and the digital markets, with a deadline of Friday 28 October 2016.
At the same time The House of Lords EU Internal Market Sub-Committee has launched an inquiry on the subject of trade in non-financial services after Brexit, including construction. The Sub-Committee has contacted a small number of organisations asking them to provide detailed written evidence about the sector as a whole, however it is not launching an official Call for Evidence.
Scope of the CMS Committee inquiry
The Committee invites written evidence on the following issues:
- Employment in the creative industries: Will the UK be able to attract and retain talent from across the world in order to maintain its high reputation in these industries?
- Employment in tourism: The travel and tourism industry is particularly labour-intensive and many positions are currently filled by EU nationals. To what extent will UK citizens be willing and able to fill these (often seasonal and low-paid) jobs?
- The Digital Single Market: The UK digital sector currently is worth £118 billion a year; 43% of UK digital exports go to the EU. How has UK membership of the EU helped to shape the Digital Single Market to date? What are the fears and advantages arising from the UK being outside the developing Single Market? What will happen to companies that have used the UK as a base for sales within the Single Market?
