Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how much his Department has spent on transporting, installing and removing works of art from the Government Art Collection for the display of artwork in his Department since May 2010.
Provision of figures for each financial year and each display covered by the PQ would incur disproportionate costs. The table below identifies the spend in each financial year since May 2010 for transporting, installing and removing works of art for Government Art Collection (GAC) displays in Government buildings in the UK and abroad. The figures also include transport from GAC to and from framers and/or conservators, to and from galleries/individual artist studios and incorporates packing, crating, art handling, transport, installation and de-installation.
