We support distributing arts funding more fairly to regions and communities beyond London, but levelling up should not pit arts organizations against each other. Addressing regional disparity by shifting funds lacks consultation and imposes very short timeframes, potentially damaging the arts ecosystem. Is this approach agreed upon?

Last weekend there was yet another case of vile online racist abuse being hurled at a professional footballer, on this occasion the Brentford striker Ivan Toney. Ironically, tomorrow we will all come together to recognise Show Racism the Red Card day. If the Government are at all serious about keeping people safe online, it is vital for those at the top of these multimillion-pound social media companies to be held personally accountable. The Online Safety Bill is our opportunity to do better. Can the Minister therefore tell us exactly why the Government have failed to introduce personal criminal liability measures for senior leaders who have fallen short on their statutory duty to protect us online?

I wish to focus on something else that is very good news in my locality: a deal ensuring 4,000 community housing tenants get the latest full-fibre network. Will the Secretary of State join me in congratulating Solihull council, Solihull Community Housing and CityFibre? Does she agree we must ensure everyone is covered so no one is left behind?

With the gambling review imminent, how do we know whether the current voluntary contribution is effective?

I refer Members to my entry in the Register of Members' Financial Interests. Does my hon. Friend share my disquiet that Lord Patel, Yorkshire's new chair, has been forced to publicly call out a group of individuals for seeking to delay and derail vital reforms of the club in order to combat the scourge of racism? Does my hon. Friend agree that, in order to support Lord Patel in his fight, the ECB should state that international cricket can return to Headingley but on the strict proviso that members back Lord Patel's reforms, we see a dilution of the power of the Graves Trust, and that they ignore the siren calls of those who wish to retain the shameful status quo?

Will the Secretary of State assure the House that she will use the Bill to crack down on these over-mighty, arrogant tech platforms?

Does the Minister agree that it is concerning that the former chair of Yorkshire CCC had not read the Fletcher report despite its findings? Is there a need for robust measures to stop institutional racism and ensure minority talent can flourish in cricket, similar to Kick It Out in football?

Given changes in media consumption, should we consider bolstering Channel 4 by merging it with ITV or hiving off BBC Worldwide to build scale for digital investment?

My hon. Friend has raised an important point which I have discussed with him. One youngster in my constituency had his dreams crushed after being released by a Premier League club, despite promises. With the fan-led review into football under way, does the Minister agree that the review needs to incorporate how clubs treat young players who do not make it and equip them for life beyond football?

I am concerned that the culture recovery fund was not intended to cover three lockdowns and 18 months of disruption. The news that the Lowry in Manchester has relaunched its emergency public appeal is a warning beacon in our cultural landscape. Does the Minister recognise that more targeted help will be needed for world-leading arts and cultural sectors? What plans are in train to deliver that help? Is a culture recovery fund 2 necessary?

On a similar theme, the UK is the world leader in music and arts festivals. The sector is worth £12 billion and supports many thousands of highly skilled jobs, as well as being the financial lifeblood of the nation's musicians. However, there will be no festival season next year unless insurance is underwritten in case of covid disruption. First, will the Minister meet with me and MPs from across the House to see how that reinsurance can be put in place? Secondly, noting her answer to the previous question, does she recognise that with a minimum lead time of six months, the reinsurance needs to be in place now before the likes of Glastonbury can commit and, if it is not, those festivals effectively cannot be put in place. We need them to be able to sign those contracts today, rather than to wait several months and then have an insurance scheme in place.

Today, the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee has called before it the English Football League, the Premier League and the Football Association. We want to hear what they are doing in terms of community sport and, crucially, to see whether they can sort out the situation for 10, 12 or 15-year EFL football clubs that are potentially going under and ripping the heart out of our communities.

I thank the Minister for his engagement on this issue and for his commitment and hard work. Obviously, the progress of this virus is a body blow to sectors facing what is in no small terms a potential extinction event. Does he agree with my Committee in its letter to the Secretary of State early today that lessons can be learned from this aborted attempt to reopen sport and live entertainment, such as the issuing of a “no earlier than” date with three months' notice, better, wider testing and funds specifically targeted at allowing adaptations to be made for safer reopening?

What action are the Government taking to prevent a rise in harmful online gambling during the emergency?

He requested that Oliver Dowden join him in calling for stricter measures from Twitter to remove verified status from prominent users spreading false information.
