Stephanie Peacock
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)
As of 24 May 2024, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport is not forecasting to underspend on the budget as agreed at the Main Estimate.
As the Chancellor set out in her speech on Monday 29 July, this department has inherited a number of forecasted spending pressures. This is also the case for each of the department’s arm’s-length bodies.
We are currently in the final year of this Spending Review period with no budget set beyond March 2025. Future budgets will be dealt with as part of the upcoming Spending Review.
