The Prime Minister holds a wide range of events for a range of sectors in the UK economy and meets leaders from all areas of industry. The creative industries employ nearly 1.7 million people and are worth £70 billion to the UK economy, and the Prime Minister is keen to find out how we can do better still in this area. The cost of the reception for approximately 400 guests from across film, music and theatre was £8,860.
