Question
How will the Minister ensure that the corresponding funding Wales will receive from the £5 million for grassroots music venues announced in the UK Government's Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s ‘Creative Industries Sector Vision' is ringfenced for Welsh venues?
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.
