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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether the Government provides funding tor historical sites significant to British history in (a) France, (b) Malta and (c) Cyprus.

HM Government does not routinely provide funding for historical sites outside the UK or the Overseas Territories.

In some cases, particularly with reference to war memorials, HM Government can contribute towards funding together with the host country. This was the case with the British Normandy Memorial at Ver-sur-Mer, Normandy, inaugurated in 2019.

Historical sites in other countries – including France, Malta and Cyprus – are the responsibility of that country to maintain.
