question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 24 January 2018 to Question 123805, what estimate he has made of the level of public funding for museums in England for each year from 2017-18 to 2021-22.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2018 answer text <p>It is not possible to make an estimate of the full level of funding for each year across the whole sector given the many sources of public funding, including from central and local government. Any such assessment would also be limited to the current Spending Review period, which runs to 2019/20.</p><p> </p><p>The Mendoza Review: an independent review of museums in England did an overall assessment of public funding and captured 11 quantifiable sources over the past decade from 2007-08 to 2016-17. On average this amounted to £844m per year.</p><p> </p><p>The Mendoza Review identified further sources of funding that could not be quantified, including: business rates relief; gift aid; European funding; and one-off grants. The Museums and Galleries Tax Relief supporting permanent and temporary exhibitions has come into effect since the Mendoza review was published. Applying to expenditure from April 2017, to be claimed in 2017/18 tax returns, it is estimated to be worth £30m per year to the sector.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 20/02/2018 11:14:48 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
