Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 8 June 2020 to Question 54086 on Chatham Dockyard: Coronavirus, if it will issue the Trust with a letter of comfort that guarantees its limited reserves position to assist cash flow management and credit status along similar lines to that issued to the Historic Royal Palaces.

DCMS is in close contact with the senior team at Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust about the challenging situation the Trust is facing. We are in active conversations to explore what support might be available.
