The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether Dormant Assets Scheme funding will be used in part to support existing (a) Music Hubs and (b) other services and strategies.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

As announced in the Dormant Assets Strategy, DCMS will work with The National Lottery Community Fund to design the specific programmes to be delivered by the youth portion of funding. These will take into account the missions and Plan for Change, as well as the additionality principle which is central to the ongoing success of the Scheme. Further details will be announced in due course.
