answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2022 answer text <p>The Government’s position towards the creation of new museums, as set out in the action plan following The Mendoza Review: an independent review of museums in England, is that public funding should only support the creation of new museums in areas and communities with a demonstrable need for them. Instead we have focused on investment in existing museums and galleries through capital programmes such as the DCMS / Wolfson Museums and Galleries Improvement Fund and the Museum Estate and Development Fund, and our direct sponsorship of fifteen museum arm’s length bodies (encompassing 48 museum sites).</p><p>Arts Council England is our arm’s-length body providing wider support and funding for museums and galleries, and its Museum Development services can provide guidance to organisations on how to open a new museum. They can help develop thinking on how the proposed museum fits within the ecology of arts, culture and heritage in the local area, including determining the scale and interest of the potential audience, and advise on potential avenues for capital funding.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 20/09/2022 07:39:07 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2022 answer text <p>The sharing economy has brought many benefits to the tourism sector and wider economy, as well as creating an additional income stream for homeowners. However, we recognise that the increase in short-term letting has also prompted some concerns. These include the impact on the housing market and local communities, and a sense that new entrants in the market are not being held to the same health and safety standards as, for example, hotels and B&amp;Bs.</p><p>The Government committed in the Tourism Recovery Plan published in June last year to consider a possible Short Term Accommodation Registration Scheme in England. As a first step in this process, a Call for Evidence was published on 29 June and runs until 21 September.</p><p>We want to hear from a wide range of stakeholders, including local authorities, in order to build a much-needed evidence base on these issues and enable us to develop proportionate policy responses for a future consultation. We ideally want to strike a balance between the benefits of the sharing economy and the concerns of the impacts on some communities, alongside ensuring consistency in quality among the range of different tourism accommodation providers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 20/09/2022 07:44:26 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
