AA statement on Sir Chris Bryant MP speaking at LEAD

Following the speech by the Shadow Creative and Digital Minister, Sir Chris Bryant at advertising industry summit LEAD, we issued the below statement in response.

Lisa Hayley-Jones, Director of Policy and Government Affairs, Advertising Association, said:

“It was reassuring to hear the Shadow Minister stress that a new Labour government would ensure continuity and stability around the key areas for our industry that are already in progress. Alongside this, the recognition that advertising will be central to Labour’s growth ambitions for the UK as well as the commitment to supporting talent and skills, which include our ongoing efforts to champion advertising as a career. This is perhaps most important for our creative industries, and we would welcome the emphasis on creative education for every child. We look forward to continuing to work with Labour on issues affecting our sector over the coming months.”
