The Comprehensive Spending Review 2007
The government's Comprehensive Spending Review 2007 has safeguarded
spending by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The statement
says:
The 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review (2007 CSR) provides 6.6 per
cent annual average real growth for the Department for Culture, Media
and Sport (DCMS) including:
- an increase in resource budget from £1.6 billion in 2007-08
to £1.8 billion by 2010-11; and
- capital expenditure of over £2 billion over the CSR07 period,
including theDepartment’s contribution to venues and supporting
infrastructure costs of the2012 Olympic Games.
This settlement together with an ambitious value for money reform
programme generating annual net cash-releasing savings of £148
million by 2010-11 will enable DCMS to deliver key priorities in the
CSR07 period, including:
- maintaining funding in real terms for the arts, museums and galleries,
within this maintaining free access to national museums and contributing
to the Cultural Olympiad;
- delivering an improved offer of five hours school sports a week
for all children aged 6 to 19 with the Department for Children,
Schools and Families;and
- effective programme management of the 2012 Olympic Games, including
a sustainable sporting legacy.
It is now the responsibility of the DCMS to decide on how this money
is to be spent, in particular what proportion will be given to Arts
Council England for funding the arts.
