Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, in what ways the £15 million legacy fund of the Great Exhibition of the North will continue to attract cultural investment in the North.
The Great Exhibition of the North is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the very best of northern art, culture and design. Not only will it showcase the innovation and imagination of the region but also give a real boost to local tourism and provide an important creative legacy. The Government is committing £5 million towards the exhibition itself, and a further £15 million into a legacy fund to attract further cultural investment in the Northern Powerhouse - we will announce our plans for the fund shortly.
