<p>My department is in constant contact with the cultural sector representatives to
assess the impact of Covid-19 on the sector and we are working to develop support
for the sector in response to COVID-19. Significant support has already been delivered
at speed by DCMS arm’s-length bodies. Arts Council England having launched a £160m
Emergency Funding Package, the National Lottery Heritage Fund launching a £50m Heritage
Emergency Fund, and Historic England launching a £2m Emergency Fund. All of these
are delivering support across the cultural sector</p><p><br>The Government continues
to monitor the impact of these funds and the other measures announced by the government
for the cultural sector. <br> <br>DCMS is engaging daily with HMT and other government
departments to ensure the needs of the cultural sector are factored into the developing
economic response, and to support those working in the sector during this period.</p>
