Written Question

South West

Tuesday 16th December 2014

Asked by: Sarah Newton (Conservative - Truro and Falmouth)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if he will estimate how much his Department has spent in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in each year since 2007-08.

Answered by Helen Grant - Shadow Solicitor General

Apart from three specific programmes where the information is readily available, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport does not keep records of expenditure by individual constituency and would not be able to isolate this data, without incurring disproportionate costs. For those three programmes that are identifiable the expenditure is set out below:
