Put Your Questions to the Minister for Creative Industries
I'm trying something new this summer using Yoosk, a website designed to allow members of the public to question politicians.
Sion Simon, the MP for Birmingham Erdington and Minister for Creative Industries, has agreed to give it a go, and will answer anything you want to throw at him about the work the Government is doing (or not) to promote and support creative industries.
To suggest a question, visit http://www.yoosk.com/theme-detail/199.aspx and click the "ask" button.
Yoosk is a Warwickshire-based site funded partly by 4iP, a fund set up by Channel 4 to support "public service digital media".
I'm going to take whatever is asked and put the questions to Mr Simon during the Labour conference. The plan at the moment is to film his answers and put the video on YouTube and the Yoosk site.
Mr Simon joined the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in June. As the Minister for Creative Industries, his responsibilities include Government policy towards the advertising sector, computer and video games, design, film and video, music, publishing, software and television and radio.
