answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2020 answer text <p>On 5 July, the Government announced a major £1.57 billion support package for key cultural organisations to help them through the coronavirus pandemic. In order to receive support, organisations will need to demonstrate that they are at risk in this financial year and have done all they can to exhaust other options. Guidance published by Arts Council England, the British Film Institute, Historic England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund sets out further details on eligibility requirements for the package.</p><p>While we would like this investment to go as far as it can in spreading support across the country, funding will not be available for every organisation. As such, the delivery bodies will be prioritising institutions of national and international significance and those that are crucial to levelling up places and communities and economic growth across the country. As part of that, we are ensuring that funding is distributed fairly, and that smaller organisations and cultural venues that are at the centre of their communities are protected.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 07/09/2020 13:51:35 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

uin	77841
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2020 answer text <p>The Repayable Finance Scheme is intended to assist larger organisations who need more than £3m, and that have a history of financial resilience. Thorough financial checks will be conducted prior to awards being granted, and recipients will need to demonstrate financial viability as a result of receiving the award. This support package represents the most cost effective way of preventing key cultural and heritage organisations from insolvency, and the repayable finance option will ensure a return to the taxpayer on their investment.</p><p>Loans will be available on generous terms including a payment term of up to 20 years, an initial repayment holiday of up to four years and a 2% interest rate per annum. Further details are available in the guidance published by Arts Council England.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 07/09/2020 13:55:11 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
