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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to promote the sharing of facilities between different areas of the arts.

The importance of partnerships was one of the key themes of the Government's Culture White Paper which was published in March 2016 and we were clear that better collaboration between cultural sectors and partners at a local, regional and national level will help support communities and their access to culture.
