That didn't come over to me, but then when you're talking to the Secretary of State—. You know, we're all very parochial when we're Cabinet Secretaries, or Secretaries of State, of our own departments. So, I certainly didn't get that impression, no.

So, certainly—. As I say, I've met Lucy Frazer once, and it was in an inter-ministerial group with Scotland and Northern Ireland Ministers as well, and I would say absolutely they do. And they also understood that it was really important to recognise that the…

So, it's really important that we have events that enable that to happen. So, we had an event last month up at Galeri Caernarfon, called the cultural mobility forum, and that's where this sort of information can be shared with people from overseas. So, it is…

I mentioned Arts Infopoint UK. Wales Arts International certainly help with information. If you look on the website, there's information about different visa requirements, different border control issues going into—. It's not even just one set of…

Yes, absolutely. One of the things I've been asked to do—Jeremy could help as well—is to push for visa-free status for artists within the EU. I'm going to meet with Wales Arts International to get an update on that, to see what further work we can do in…

Diwylliant a'r berthynas newydd â’r Undeb Ewropeaidd: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Llywodraeth Cymru (8)
Yes, I agree with you, and I think in Wales we've got some very small companies that, as you say, don't have the resources to be able to access that information. We've got Arts Infopoint UK, which helps artists coming into the country, as well as the other…

From the culture sector point of view, from Creative Europe, from that European funding that you were referring to before, I think we had about €1.9 million, but there is no bespoke funding from the UK Government now for the culture sector.

I would agree with Jeremy, certainly, having had experience in a couple of departments on that. And I think that's why the upcoming review is so important. I think on the point that Alun and Jeremy were making, that this is a kind of technical exercise at the…

I haven't got any immediate plans to visit Brussels, but what I've asked officials to do—. Obviously, they're our closest neighbour, and it's really important we continue to build relationships with them. I think, in the culture, arts and sport part of the…

I think that certainly has an impact. As I mentioned, I think officials work at a much better level, probably, than sometimes the Ministers do. But, ultimately, if you get to know somebody in your work—. So, I'll use George Eustice as an example. I built up a…

So, Wales will have had a huge amount of money from those European programmes. It’s now gone into—. Is it global? As I say, it’s not in our portfolios, but it’s a global fund, and we’re not getting anything, really, like we were.

Absolutely, and I think I mentioned that we’d had the inaugural culture and creative industries IMG, and I think my predecessor Dawn Bowden had been really pressing for that, but, because there’d been change in the Department for Culture, Media and Sport—…

It might be worth—. I don't know, and perhaps Jeremy might know more, but, obviously, there are EU programmes—. I'm thinking of Horizon, and there's obviously Creative Europe; it could be that Hannah is looking to see if there are opportunities that—. It may…

No. I mean, certainly in the culture sector, I would say 'no'. When I attended the IMG, we were talking about movement and touring companies et cetera, but clearly, as Jeremy said, that freedom of movement has gone, and we know that, for a touring company to…

I certainly haven't come across that in this portfolio at all, but I have to say that I don't think anybody has raised issues around Brexit with me since I've been in this portfolio. The only thing I can think that we mentioned about the European Union was…

Yes, absolutely. I'm very surprised to hear that. Obviously, it was before, as you say, I came into portfolio. My only assumption is that perhaps the Welsh Government went to Wales Arts International for some information and perhaps the same information was…

Yes, I will add that, for me, the main route is, obviously, through inter-governmental relations, the IMGs, the inter-ministerial groups, and also officials meet, obviously, regularly between the two Governments. So, like Jeremy, this is a new post for me…
