Ed Vaizey was appointed Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries in May 2010 and promoted to Minister of State for Culture and Digital Industries in 2014.

I’m used, as a Minister, to talking about the massive economic contribution that our creative industries make to the UK economy. So it’s important that we know in as much detail as possible what is actually happening on the ground.
