UK & India Sign Cultural Cooperation Agreement
The agreement was signed today by the UK culture secretary Lisa Nandy, who is on a three-day tour of India.
The UK will also work with India to support best practice and expertise on heritage conservation, museum management, and digitisation of collections, including making knowledge contained in South Asian manuscripts more widely accessible. While in India, Nandy toured Yash Raj Films Studio and gave a keynote at the World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit (WAVES) in Mumbai, where she dismissed calls for a steamer levy in the UK. Last month, the influential UK Culture, Media & Sport Committee (CMSC) officially recommended a 5% streamer levy to the government and said this should be enshrined into law if the industry fails to introduce it within a year.
