Festivals and Special Occasions: Finance

Volume 479: debated on Monday 21 July 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many requests his Department received for funding to be allocated to the promotion and celebration of specific celebratory days in 2007. (218526)

Information is not held on the number of direct requests to my Department for funding to be allocated for the promotion and celebration of specific days in 2007. As the majority of DCMS funding is channelled through our NDPBs, it is possible that these bodies may have received direct requests for funding, but that information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
