answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2023 answer text <p>The Department does not hold data on the numbers of community brass bands in England. Our arm’s-length body Arts Council England funds a number of brass band organisations, but does not maintain a category solely for ‘community brass bands’. The brass band organisations it funds includes two nationwide organisations: the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain, and Brass Bands England. Brass Bands England promotes, represents, and supports brass bands across England, and will be able to provide information about the number of community brass bands operating.</p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Sir John Whittingdale question first answered 12/12/2023 10:52:07 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale
