	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2022 answer text <p>The Government recognises the huge contribution arts and music make, not only to the economy and international reputation of the United Kingdom, but also to the wellbeing and enrichment of its people and communities.</p><p>As such, the government has increased tax reliefs for theatre, orchestras, museums and galleries until 2024. This is a fantastic boost for arts and music in this country, to keep producing the talent and content we are world famous for.</p><p>The Government recently announced plans to increase and better distribute arts funding to previously overlooked or neglected areas. An additional £75 million will be provided by 2025 to make sure places which have been culturally under-served in the past get a better distribution of arts funding, generating more opportunities, jobs and better access to cultural activities. A new National Plan for Music Education will also be published later this year.</p><p>We are also developing a Creative Industries Sector Vision which will set out our ambition for the sector up to 2030. As part of this, the government announced £50 million of growth support for creative businesses - including those within music - across the country.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 19/04/2022 10:17:38 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2022 answer text <p>The Government is committed to the development of an arts and cultural sector that is representative of modern society and in which there are no barriers to participation. The Secretary of State has named increasing access to arts and culture across the whole country as one of her top priorities for the department.</p><p>In February, DCMS instructed Arts Council England (ACE) to enable a £75 million boost to culture and creativity outside of London between 2022 and 2025. As part of this funding, DCMS and ACE have identified 109 Levelling Up for Culture Places where additional investment will be focused. This support will galvanise the potential of the people in these areas that have previously not had sufficient attention and investment. The aim is to generate more opportunities for people across the whole country, and provide better access to cultural activities.</p><p>As outlined in Arts Council England’s Let’s Create strategy, all UK Arts Councils alongside the British Film Institute are currently working on a UK wide access scheme for disabled, d/Deaf, neurodivergent people or those that have other access needs. We want this scheme to work alongside existing infrastructure to find a way of best serving audiences and the sector. As part of the very early stages of this process, Arts Council England are inviting people who have access needs when attending arts events to take part in focus groups.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston grouped question UIN 141334 question first answered 28/03/2022 15:26:35 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
