Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, when she plans to introduce the new cultural development fund to use cultural investment to turn around communities; and if she will make a statement.
We believe investment in arts and culture increases the economic, social and wellbeing benefits for individuals and communities. DCMS will continue to work with our sectors to explore new and innovative ways in which cultural investment can be used to foster economic growth in local areas whilst also benefitting the wider communities.
