HM Government
Acknowledged
We are grateful to the Committee for this recognition and their call for Government engagement on navigating any prospective issues that may arise. We are also grateful for the support we have received from UK Government, particularly through their endorsement of CIISA within the DMCS Creative Industries Sector Vision 2030. We share the Committee’s view that there could be legislative issues that may present CIISA with challenges that could potentially prevent us from meeting our objectives. We have written to UK Government to discuss this specific matter and the identified mitigations required as we head into the final design of our service and will keep the Committee updated.
