Govt will look at dynamic pricing after Oasis ticket sales
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy describes issues with fans trying to buy tickets for Oasis concerts as “deeply depressing” and says the government will look at an “overhaul of the system”.

Lisa Nandy says there is a "culture of silence" in the TV industry and a "power imbalance" between executives and those starting out in their careers. Her comments come after an ITV News investigation found more than 40 people claimed to have witnessed or experienced inappropriate behaviour from TV chef Gino D'Acampo. The culture secretary adds the government is backing CIISA, a new initiative for victims to report abuse and for investigations to take place. Report by Brooksl.

The culture secretary says it is "devastating" that many young people do not have the skills required to work in creative industries.
