A debate on the spending of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and support for DCMS sectors during the Covid-19 recovery has been scheduled for Wednesday 10 March 2021 in the main House of Commons Chamber.

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has a wide remit including responsibilities for protecting and promoting cultural and artistic heritage, building the digital economy and promoting the UK as a tourist destination.
The department has the following priority outcomes, outlined in the Spending Review 2020:
In 2020-21 DCMS’s proposed spending, as set out in the Supplementary Estimates 2020-21 and accompanying Estimate Memorandum, has increased significantly, largely due to Covid-19 support measures.
The department is requesting £2,044 million in day-to-day Covid-19 spending (Resource DEL) and £622 million of Covid-19 investment spending (Capital DEL). This includes grants and loan schemes for cultural and heritage organisations, support for charities, a “production restart” scheme for TV and film productions, and a “winter survival package” for sports.
As a result of these significant increases in funding DCMS is now proposing total day-to-day spending (Resource DEL) of £1,493 million on arts and heritage, £663 million on museums, galleries and libraries, and £508 million on Civil Society.
This debate pack includes further details on spending and policy background on a number of areas of DCMS responsibility, and statistics illustrating the value of DCMS sectors to the UK economy. It also includes relevant news items, press releases and Parliamentary records.
