uin	HL3601
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2015 answer text <p>The Government consulted on the scope of a measurement framework for media plurality in July 2013. We published our response to that consultation in August 2014; our response also addressed the recommendations of the Lords' Communications Committee report into plurality. In our response, we set out the scope of a measurement framework for media plurality and subsequently commissioned Ofcom to develop this, informed by a suitable set of indicators. The Government has been clear that it will not consider changing the existing regulatory framework for media plurality until the measurement framework and a baseline assessment have been delivered. I understand that Ofcom plans to consult on their proposals for a measurement framework early in the New Year and hopes to publish its conclusions in summer 2015.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 05/01/2015 12:40:26 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

uin	HL3606
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2014 answer text <p>The government continues to support free entry to the national museum collections. Entrance to the national museums has been free since 2001 and visitor numbers have risen continually, including for families from all backgrounds. A number of the museums and galleries have developed specific programmes targeting young people including Youth Panels. Examples of initiatives specifically targeting young people include the TATE Galleries participation in Circuit, led by the National Youth Network for the Visual Arts, and The Imperial War Museum’s project, New Perspectives: Lesser known histories of the first world war which challenges young people to take a new perspective on the First World War.</p>The major partner museums sponsored by Arts Council England are also seeking innovative and creative ways of engaging young people with their collections including: Norfolk Museums Creative Collisions Youth Arts Network and Exeter’s The Royal Albert Memorial Museum &amp; Art Gallery’s, Count Me In Programme. ACE also directly funds education provision through investment in major partner museums.<p> </p><p>In addition, and to increase the number of young people accessing museums, the Museums and Schools Programme has been introduced to increase the number of schools visits to museums. Through Arts Council England, The Department for Education is providing funding of £3.6m, supporting 10 regional museum services in partnership with National Museums and schools in areas of high deprivation across England, where engagement between schools and culture has been low. So far 87,598 pupils have visited a regional museum as part of the museums and schools programme.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 17/12/2014 15:53:55 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
