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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department has made an estimate of how many (a) museums and galleries, (b) theatres and opera houses and c) cinemas have closed since 2010.

DCMS does not hold information on the number of closures of (a) museums and galleries, (b) theatres and opera houses and (c) cinemas since 2010. However, DCMS sector economic estimates have business demographics data, which gives insights into the numbers of cultural businesses and the Office for National Statistics has data on business births and deaths.
