Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if her Department will be responsible for the administration of the 1918 Representation of the People commemoration fund; and if she will publish details on how organisations can apply for grants from that fund.

The government has set up a £5m fund to help celebrate this important occasion.

Officials in the Government Equalities Office are responsible for this fund. The funding will be available for projects in England, and details including application criteria will be announced in due course.

The Barnett formula has been applied to this funding in the usual way and it is for the devolved administrations, including the Welsh Government, to decide whether, and how, they choose to mark the centenary.
