The Earl of Clancarty – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport
The below Parliamentary question was asked by The Earl of Clancarty on 2016-02-11.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether arts organisations registered as charities receiving grants for arts purposes provided through National Lottery funding will be subject to the new government policy restricting how such grants may be used.
Baroness Neville-Rolfe
The anti-lobbying policy covers exchequer-funded grants and does not cover Lottery funding. Arts Council England grants, funded through the National Lottery, are allocated and ring-fenced to support statutory good causes.
