answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2016 answer text <p>Councils have almost £200 billion to spend on local services, over the lifetime of this parliament. It is for each local authority who know their area best to decide how to allocate its budget to provide museum services to its communities.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, through the Arts Council England, DCMS has increased funding for 21 Major Partner Museums Networks (130 Museums in total) from £20.3m to £22.6 million over 2015-2018. Regional museums can bid for funds from ACE's £10 million per year Resilience Fund, and for lottery funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2015 answer text <p>Government funds a small group of museums with Grant in Aid and there are no plans to extend the number of these at this time.</p><p> </p><p>A range of factors determine what constitutes a ‘national museum’, and one of the central criteria is the significance of the museum’s collection.</p><p> </p><p>In the case of the National Children’s Museum Government understands and supports the principle of family friendly interactive spaces. Government’s view is that this institution’s collection is not of a standard or scale comparable to National Museums such as the British Museum. It would not, therefore, fall within the criteria for receiving support from central Government or Arts Council England, which is responsible for regional museums.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 21/09/2015 15:08:01 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
