Debate between Chris Bryant and Olly Glover

Thursday 28th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Olly Glover (Didcot and Wantage) (LD)]

T4.   Council-owned arts centres in my Oxfordshire constituency, such as Cornerstone in Didcot and the Beacon in Wantage, face rising energy and staffing costs. Given that most external funding sources do not support operating costs, will the Secretary of State press her Cabinet colleagues to back multi-year funding settlements for local government, to help art and culture to thrive?

[Chris Bryant]

Yes!
