Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their policy in respect of the payment of at least the level of the "Living Wage" to staff employed in public museums and galleries.
The Government supports the London Living Wage, where possible. However, the Department's sponsored Museums and Galleries operate at arm's length from the Department, and as such they have responsibility for their own staffing and service arrangements, including wage levels. Those museums which are not sponsored by the Department make such staffing arrangements as they feel is appropriate.
