Museums and galleries have been ordered to close under the national restrictions. In line with the regulations, curatorial staff are still able to undertake their work on site where it is not reasonably possible for them to do so from home.<\/p>
Museums and galleries have made their workplaces Covid secure, in line with the guidance produced by the National Museums Directors\u2019 Council with support from DCMS.<\/p>
The Government has provided substantial financial support for museums through the Culture Recovery Fund, the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, and other measures, which will help museums, and other cultural organisations, continue their important work.<\/p>

I am sure the honourable gentlemen will understand that I cannot discuss detail of the Spending Review at this time. As he will be already aware, the Government has decided to conduct a one-year spending review, prioritising its response to Covid-19 and focusing on supporting jobs.<\/p>
Government remains fully committed to achieving Net Zero green House gas emissions by 2050, including from domestic maritime activity. Decarbonising shipping is essential to achieve the target of net zero emissions across the economy by 2050.<\/p>
The Clean Maritime Plan, published in July 2019, outlines the UK\u2019s pathway to zero carbon emissions in domestic maritime. Further plans on the decarbonisation of the maritime sector will be included in the Transport Decarbonisation Plan, to be published later this year.<\/p>

My Department has published its assessment of the potential merits of investing in maritime decarbonisation.<\/p>
In 2015, the Department published the Maritime Growth Study, which considered all aspects of the maritime sector and identified where action could be taken to generate growth. Following the publication of Maritime 2050 in 2019, which builds on the findings of the Maritime Growth Study, the Department published the Clean Maritime Plan, which identified the potential for clean economic growth in the UK as a result of the transition to zero emission shipping.<\/p>
Alongside the Plan, the Department published an assessment of the value of potential economic opportunities from low and zero emission shipping. This review provided a framework for assessing the scale of the opportunity generated by emission reduction technologies, including a mapping of the relevant supply chain, an assessment of the global uptake of these technologies, the economic footprint of the UK firms in the supply chain and the UK\u2019s share of global export of these technologies.<\/p>
