answer text <p>(a) A large proportion of DCMS's legal advice is provided by the Government Legal Department (GLD) on an annual fixed fee basis. Additional legal advice is obtained from GLD on an hourly rate basis and the Department regularly engages private sector legal services from Counsel and external legal firms. Hourly rates are not available without reviewing individual invoices from the various legal service providers, which would incur disproportionate cost. Advice from counsel is, save for very limited and exceptional circumstances, provided at rates which can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/attorney-generals-panel-counsel-practical-information#rates.</p><p> </p><p>(b) This information is not held centrally and to collect this information would incur a disproportionate cost.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Libraries play an important role in giving everyone opportunities to improve their life chances and achieve their full potential. In doing so they serve a diverse range of people from all backgrounds, including those in lower socio-economic groups. In addition, DCMS’s Taking Part Survey indicates that unlike other cultural sectors, public library use in 2017/18 by people in black or minority ethnic groups is significantly higher (40.9% having visited a public library in the previous 12 months) than for people in the white ethnic group (31.7%).</p><p> </p><p>In recognition of this, the Government funds the Libraries Taskforce to encourage good practice and innovation to public library services in achieving the strategic outcomes set out in its 2016 strategy Libraries Deliver: Ambition for Public Libraries in England 2016-2021. DCMS also invested £3.9 million in the Libraries: Opportunities for Everyone fund to support innovative library service activity in 2017/18 to benefit disadvantaged people and places in England, including projects to help people develop their skills and achieve their potential.</p>
