The Lord Speaker (Lord Fowler)
We are making slow progress on this Question. I call the noble Baroness, Lady Bonham-Carter of Yarnbury.
Baroness Bonham-Carter of Yarnbury (LD) [V]
My Lords, the allocation last week of more from the culture recovery fund was received with relief by many venues, but performing arts production is not a tap that you can just turn on and off. The news yesterday that London is going into tier 3, as mentioned by the noble Lord, Lord Flight, has caused great anxiety. Can the Minister confirm that cultural venues will be eligible to receive tier 3 local restrictions support grant compensation?
Baroness Barran (Con)
My understanding is that that is the case, but I will write and confirm to the noble Baroness if that is incorrect.
