The Culture Debate

High-profile members of five UK political parties debate their policies on the arts and creative industries on The Culture Debate, in front of an audience with leading figures from the sector.

Chaired by Martha Kearney, it includes Conservative Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries Ed Vaizey, Labour’s Shadow Secretary for Culture Media and Sport Harriet Harman, co-chair of the Liberal Democrat Party Committee on Culture Baroness Bonham-Carter, UKIP culture spokesman Peter Whittle, and Green Party spokesman for Culture, Media and Sport Martin Dobson.

Audience members in Covent Garden - and watching live online - have the chance to put their questions to the panel using the hashtag #CultureDebate.
