Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what support they provide for the promotion of literary festivals.
Through Arts Council England (ACE) we are investing and promoting the arts and culture all around the country. ACE provides funding to a number of literary festivals including the Manchester Literature Festival and Ilkley Literature Festival, and in 2019/20 will provide over £3.7 million to a number of organisations and festivals that promote literature.
