Project Gigabit was launched in March 2021 and its spend for the financial year 2021-22 will be reported through DCMS\u2019s Annual Report and Accounts, which will be published in due course.<\/p>

In April 2022, Building Digital UK (BDUK) became an Executive Agency of DCMS, and will publish its own Annual Report and Accounts, including details of Project Gigabit spend, from next year.<\/p>

BDUK also publishes quarterly updates on the Project Gigabit Delivery plan and procurement pipeline, with the most recent Summer Update<\/a> published in August 2022.<\/p>

We are making good progress with the Project Gigabit procurement covering Devon and Somerset, which is currently estimated to cover around 150,000 premises. The procurement is expected to launch next year, and we have recently launched a Public Review to help identify the premises that are in scope for the procurement.<\/p>

Residents and businesses in Devon have made excellent use of the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme, which provides microgrants towards the cost of installing gigabit-capable broadband. To date, more than 1,600 premises in Devon have claimed and received payment for a voucher through the scheme, with almost 250 further premises awaiting completion, for a combined total of almost £3.5 million.<\/p>

Alongside Project Gigabit, we are still supporting delivery of gigabit-capable connections to more than over 50,000 premises through our earlier superfast contracts in Devon and Somerset. We have also provided top up funding through Project Gigabit for one of the contracts.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4647", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Julia Lopez"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hornchurch and Upminster"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Julia Lopez"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-11-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-11-01T08:33:58.627Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-10-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Project Gigabit: Expenditure"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how much Project Gigabit funding has been spent to date; and what proportion of that funding has been spent in Devon.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4942", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Richard Foord"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Tiverton and Honiton"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Richard Foord"} ], "uin" : "73169"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1536801", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1536801/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

BDUK also publishes quarterly updates on the Project Gigabit Delivery plan and procurement pipeline for the £5 billion gigabit broadband roll out, with the most recent Summer Update<\/a> published in August 2022.<\/p>

We have already launched procurements with a value of over £700 million to deliver gigabit connections to hard-to-reach homes and businesses across the UK, and we recently signed our first contracts in North Dorset and Teesdale in Durham.<\/p>

In addition to our Project Gigabit procurements, through the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme and its previous iterations, we have issued over 100,000 vouchers worth more than £214 million. Over 73,000 of these vouchers have been used to connect premises to gigabit-capable broadband.<\/p>

In July 2022 we announced a joint £82 million investment with the Department for Education (DfE) to connect up to 3,000 primary schools with gigabit broadband over the next three years.<\/p>

The table below shows the amount of grant funding DCMS and its delivery body Arts Council England (ACE) are estimated to have awarded to art galleries in each financial year from Financial Year 2017-18 to 21-22. These figures include an estimate of grants provided to arts galleries via Arts Council England, and DCMS direct Grant in Aid provided to the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery and the Tate. We have not included individual art galleries part of other DCMS sponsored Arm\u2019s Length Bodies as it is not possible to break down costs at this level.<\/p>

These figures include estimates produced by ACE that include both exchequer and lottery funds. ACE does not have a method of calculating funding spent on art galleries specifically (beyond Museums, and Visual Arts, as high-level classifiers), but can determine funding for projects taking place in galleries, and can identify some galleries funding through name-searching for galleries in funding databases. This provides an estimate for ACE funding support for galleries and activity in galleries, but is not precise.<\/p>

As the Minister responsible for arts and culture, I regularly meet with the Arts Council England (ACE), who are an arms-length body of my Department. After careful consideration of the potential impact, my Department agreed with ACE to delay the announcement of its 2023-26 investment programme. I can now confirm the new date for the announcement is Friday 4 November and that this has been agreed with ACE.<\/p>

I recognise that this delay caused some uncertainty for organisations in the short term but I am confident that this will be minimal as the investment programme begins on 1 April 2023.<\/p>

Individual funding allocations to organisations in the Investment Programme are always a matter for ACE and all of these funding decisions are taken at arm\u2019s-length from the government. The primary funding source for the ACE investment programme is non-ring fenced Grant-in-Aid provided by DCMS. As set out on its website, and in the \u2018Addendum to the Guidance for Applicants\u2019, ACE\u2019s average annual budget for this investment round is £428 million, and it will receive a 2% uplift to the total budget compared with the 2018-22 investment programme. However, it is important to note that ACE uses other funding sources for its investments, for example Lottery funding.<\/p>

The total funding allocated to organisations in the 2023-26 Investment programme will be set out in the announcement on 4 November 2022.<\/p>

I commit to update the House with further details in due course.<\/p>

As the Minister responsible for arts and culture, I regularly meet with the Arts Council England (ACE), who are an arms-length body of my Department. After careful consideration of the potential impact, my Department agreed with ACE to delay the announcement of its 2023-26 investment programme. I can now confirm the new date for the announcement is Friday 4 November and that this has been agreed with ACE.<\/p>

I recognise that this delay caused some uncertainty for organisations in the short term but I am confident that this will be minimal as the investment programme begins on 1 April 2023.<\/p>

Individual funding allocations to organisations in the Investment Programme are always a matter for ACE and all of these funding decisions are taken at arm\u2019s-length from the government. The primary funding source for the ACE investment programme is non-ring fenced Grant-in-Aid provided by DCMS. As set out on its website, and in the \u2018Addendum to the Guidance for Applicants\u2019, ACE\u2019s average annual budget for this investment round is £428 million, and it will receive a 2% uplift to the total budget compared with the 2018-22 investment programme. However, it is important to note that ACE uses other funding sources for its investments, for example Lottery funding.<\/p>

The total funding allocated to organisations in the 2023-26 Investment programme will be set out in the announcement on 4 November 2022.<\/p>

I commit to update the House with further details in due course.<\/p>
