The DCMS Select Committee has launched an inquiry on the impact of Coronavirus on all sectors under DCMS’s remit (i.e. tourism). In particular, the Committee is interested in finding out:

  • What has been the immediate impact of Covid-19 on your sector?
  • How effectively has the support provided by DCMS, other Government departments and arms-length bodies addressed the sector’s needs?
  • What will the likely long-term impacts of Covid-19 be on your sector, and what support is needed to deal with those?
  • What lessons can be learnt from how DCMS, arms-length bodies and the sector have dealt with Covid-19?
  • How might the sector evolve after Covid-19, and how can DCMS support such innovation to deal with future challenges?

The deadline for written evidence is 1 May 2020 (there may be flexibility on this).
