DCMS also runs regular training sessions within the department on WPQs and correspondence to further improve the quality and timeliness of our responses.</p><p>Between July 2021 and July 2022, DCMS answered 88% of House of Commons WPQs on time, meaning on the named day or within five working days for ordinary WPQs. In the same period, DCMS answered 67% of ministerial correspondence cases within 20 working days. Additionally, as noted by the Procedure Committee in its report on departmental performance in the 2021-22 session of Parliament, DCMS answered 90% of all WPQs on time during the last session of Parliament.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 04/11/2022 09:09:33 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2022 answer text <p>The table below shows the amount of grant funding DCMS and its delivery body Arts Council England (ACE) are estimated to have awarded to art galleries in each financial year from Financial Year 2017-18 to 21-22. These figures include an estimate of grants provided to arts galleries via Arts Council England, and DCMS direct Grant in Aid provided to the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery and the Tate. We have not included individual art galleries part of other DCMS sponsored Arm’s Length Bodies as it is not possible to break down costs at this level.</p><p>These figures include estimates produced by ACE that include both exchequer and lottery funds. ACE does not have a method of calculating funding spent on art galleries specifically (beyond Museums, and Visual Arts, as high-level classifiers), but can determine funding for projects taking place in galleries, and can identify some galleries funding through name-searching for galleries in funding databases. This provides an estimate for ACE funding support for galleries and activity in galleries, but is not precise.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>TOTAL (£m)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>£69.29*</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018/19</p></td><td><p>£156.23</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019/20</p></td><td><p>£168.30</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020/21</p></td><td><p>£203.66</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021/22</p></td><td><p>£206.42</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>TOTAL</p></td><td><p>£803.90</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>*There is no comparable funding data available from ACE for 2017/18, this therefore includes only DCMS direct Grant in Aid provided to the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery and the Tate Galleries.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 01/11/2022 10:52:47 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
