Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support the (1) restoration, and (2) conservation, of war memorials.
The Government supports the restoration and conservation of war memorials through the Memorial Grant Scheme which makes grants towards the VAT incurred by charities and faith groups in the construction, repair and maintenance of public memorial structures, including war memorials. The scheme has a fixed budget of £0.5m per year for this spending period.
