Labour — Wigan

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 November 2025

Debate

Access to Arts and Culture

Contribution

For too long in this country, there has been a divide between access and excellence when it comes to the arts. Our Government believe that everybody deserves access to excellence—everyone, everywhere. We invest around £600 million every year via Arts Council England, and earlier this year, I was delighted to announce the £270 million arts everywhere fund to support exactly that aim.
