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

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the Arts Council England's report Leading the Crowd published on 15 May.

The Government works closely with Arts Council England who support arts and cultural organisations to develop their fundraising skills and capacity to attract more private investment.

We welcome this report, and are committed to ensuring that the UK has the best framework for philanthropy, and that partnerships between government, philanthropists, businesses and civil society are maximised.
