To ask the Minister for Communities for a breakdown of the number and type of organisations and individuals in each constituency who (i) applied; and (ii) were successful, for the Arts grant launched on 26 October 2020.

Answer:

On 26 October I announced a further release of £15.75m from the £29m package for arts, language, culture and heritage sectors; £7.75m of which has been made available to arts organisations through a third round of the Organisation Emergency Programme. This programme, the Stability and Renewal Programme for Organisations, opened to applications on 28 October. The closing date for applications is noon on Friday 27 November. The Arts Council aim to communicate decisions by the end of January 2021 and so the information requested in not known at this point.
