Recommendation 11

Setting up an inter-ministerial group on media and culture would be a welcome and sensible step to help formalise conversations between the UK and devolved Governments on broadcasting-related issues, not least facilitating a joined- up approach to ensuring the continued growth of Scotland’s screen sector. We recommend that such a group should be established this year, and that its terms of reference should include skills in the UK screen industry. We also call on the Scottish Government to further prioritise its work on screen industry skills in Scotland, to work in tandem with the inter-ministerial group.
