Question
How will artists and grassroots venues in Wales benefit from Barnett consequentials due to Wales following the £5 million announced in the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s ‘Creative Industries Sector Vision?’
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism
The Welsh Government will not receive any consequential funding following the announcement made by UK government ministers on 13th June. It has been confirmed that all the £77m announced for the creative industries on 13th June will come from existing Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) budgets. If this had been new funding, Wales could have expected to receive Barnett consequentials.
