Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Cultural Heritage
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he plans to decolonise the (a) artwork and (b) heritage assets in (i) his Department and (ii) each of its arm’s length bodies.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
The department borrows art from the Government Art Collection and does not own artwork.
As separate legal entities, the responsibility for creating policy and guidance for artwork sits with each individual arm’s length body, rather than with the department.
