§ Lynne JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what action she is taking in response to the findings of the Regional Museums Task Force. [38095]
§ Dr. HowellsMy Department has accepted, in principle, the task force's key recommendations for a new framework for regional museums. We are currently working with Resource to start implementing the recommendations with £10 million per annum which was allocated to Resource in the last spending review.
We will take the task force's recommendations into account in the current spending review, alongside other priorities.
