As the birthplace of our modern railway system, the Stockton and Darlington Railway is an important part of our nation\u2019s heritage and I fully support efforts aimed at celebrating its bicentenary in 2025.<\/p>
Through their Heritage Action Zones, Historic England is funding a £700,000 programme aimed at rejuvenating and restoring the 26 mile stretch of historic railway.<\/p>
This programme will help realise the railway\u2019s potential to become a major heritage attraction and international visitor destination.<\/p>

The government is committed to maintaining free entry to the permanent collections of national museums, as outlined in the 2019 manifesto.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> As culture is a devolved matter, information would not be held by my department on a UK basis. We do not hold complete information on all museums in England. However, we do hold this information for the fifteen DCMS sponsored museum groups, which encompass 40 museums and galleries. Six groups are either partly or wholly based outside of London (National Museums Liverpool, Royal Armouries, Natural History Museum, Tate, Science Museum Group, Imperial War Museums), encompassing half the total number of sponsored museum sites. Visitor numbers for these museum groups are published online: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/sponsored-museums-and-galleries-annual-performance-indicators-201819<\/a><\/p>
