DCMS & Culture

Michelle Donelan, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS), has revealed she is expecting a baby in 2023 and will be taking a short maternity leave from DCMS. During her absence, matters will be handled by DCMS Ministers. She is the second Secretary of State to take maternity leave since the law was changes last year.

New Accessibility & Sustainability Fund

In conjunction with the Wolfson Foundation, DCMS has announced a new £4 million fund to be distributed to 33 museums and galleries across England, including many members of AIM (the Association of Independent Museums) [Alliance member] and Hampton Court Palace (Historic Royal Palaces [Alliance member]).

Through the building of new accessible facilities and energy-efficient heating systems, the fund seeks to improve the accessibility and sustainability of these sites. The fund will have a regional focus with 26 of the 33 museums and galleries being outside of London.

AHRC Funding Opportunity: Researching Culture & Heritage Capital

DCMS is co-funding an opportunity with AHRC (the Arts and Humanities Research Council) to research culture and heritage capital with an interdisciplinary focus, helping to develop a robust and holistic approach for capturing and articulating the value of culture and heritage.

London Liverpool Street Station Listing Update

DCMS have confirmed a major listing update for London Liverpool Street Station following requests by Alliance Members the Victorian Society, Save Britain's Heritage and The Twentieth Century Society. The station is now a Grade II listed building. Read more about the listing here.

Rare 700 Year Old Ivory Casket At Risk of Leaving UK

A French Gothic ivory casket worth more than £1.5 million is at risk of leaving the UK unless a buyer can be found.

The casket is one of just nine known 14th century French composite caskets that depict scenes from mediaeval romance tales. It includes a detailed and early depiction of wild men, mythical creatures appearing in mediaeval European art and literature that symbolise people living outside ‘civilised’ society. The casket shows them assaulting a castle in a rare variation on the popular theme of the storming of the Castle of Love.

RCEWA Export of Objects of Cultural Interest Report

The Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest (RCEWA) have published their annual report. During the 2021-22 reporting period, the Committee considered 18 objects. To date 3 of them have been saved for the nation:

• Case 1  - Gould's Original Drawings, Vols I and II
• Case 3 - The Nativity, by Baldassare Tommaso Peruzzi
• Case 13 - 17th-century manuscript of Italian and French lute music

The full report can be read here.

MPs Question ACE on Funding Decisions

On 8 December, the DCMS Committee called on Arts Council England (ACE) to give some context to its recently announced funding decisions and to discuss its future strategy. Darren Henley CBE, Chief Executive of ACE, attended and answered questions from the Committee. A full transcript is available here.

Lord Parkinson Delivers Speech on Arts & Creative Industries

This week, the Minister for Arts and Heritage Lord Parkinson delivered a speech on the Arts and Creative Industries Strategy, outlining government support for the sector. His speech focused on Levelling Up, Arts Council funding, the Creative Industries Sector Vision (which is under development) and the ScreenSkills apprenticeship pilot (a flexi-job apprenticeship offer).

In his speech, the Minister also raised the Department’s awareness of issues relating to the increase in energy prices and impacts on the sector, mentioning the series of round-table discussions he recently hosted with groups across the sector, which include The Heritage Alliance.

Planning

Levelling Up & Regeneration Bill Second Reading

The Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill (LURB) returned to the House of Commons on Tuesday (13 December), having been delayed after backbench Tory rebels sought and secured a concession from Michael Gove over housing targets. The Bill has had its Third Reading in the House of Commons and so the next stage is for it to move to the House of Lords. We expect Second Reading in the House of Lords in January.

In terms of preserving heritage, the amended Bill has retained the positive steps made in the original Bill. This most notably comes from amendments to legislation from 1990 that will guarantee the consideration of heritage assets when planning permission proposals are assessed by the Secretary of State and local communities. However, there is still a concern that ambiguous language in certain sections of the Bill does not give the full picture of the impacts from some of the changes, for example the implementation of EORs.

Statements from the Secretary of State

The Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Michael Gove, has released two written statements, one concerning onshore wind, which is outlined below in the Environment section, and the other on more general further proposed changes to the planning system, alongside the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill, “to place local communities at the heart of the planning system”.

Gove will set out more detail on the following approach in an upcoming National Planning Policy Framework prospectus, which is due to be put out for consultation by Christmas.

Environment

National Planning Framework: Onshore Wind Development

By the end of this year, the Government will undertake a technical consultation on the national planning framework for onshore wind development in England. That consultation will conclude by the end of March next year.

Through consultation with local authorities, communities and businesses, they intend to make changes to the National Planning Policy Framework by the end of April 2023.

That consultation will conclude by the end of March next year, so that it can feed into changes to the National Planning Policy Framework by the end of April. A list of proposed changes can be found here.

ELMs Announcement Expected in New Year

We are now anticipating the Government’s announcement on the review of the Environmental Land Management Schemes (ELMS) in the new year. The announcement will be made at the Oxford Real Farming Conference (4 – 6 January 2023, Oxford and online) and will have an impact on the rural economy as well as on biodiversity.

The Heritage Alliance sits on a number of stakeholder groups helping to shape ELM and the role of the historic environment in the recovery of our landscape.

Environment Secretary Outlines New Wildlife Fund

In a speech at the Natural History Museum last week Environment Secretary Thérèse Coffey announced a new multi-million pound fund to create and restore wildlife-rich habitats as part of the UK’s commitment to increased climate and nature finance.

This came as Coffey met with environmentalists and representatives from across the globe to encourage a global agreement at the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP15) to restore and conserve nature.

Tourism & Hospitality

Government Commits to Registration Scheme for Short-Term Holiday Lets

In response to a question from Conservative MP Nickie Aiken about whether he was still considering implementing a registration scheme to help councils “properly manage this growing sector”, the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove was fully behind plans to deliver a new tourist accommodation registration scheme, enabling the government to “better understand and monitor the impact of short-term lets on local communities”.

The Prime Minister has also confirmed that the government plans to consult on whether specific planning permissions should be required for new holiday let properties in popular tourist destinations across the country.

Education

£490 Million Investment in Skills & Training

The Government has awarded £57milion to 20 higher education providers for 2022/23, who specialise in areas including science, agriculture, business, and creative and performing arts. This award is part of a wider £490million investment in university and college facilities, which aims to help level up more opportunities for people to gain the skills they need to progress. The funding will support them to offer a wider range of high-quality courses. 

No Plans to Change EBacc to Include Arts Subjects

The Education Minister Robert Halfon has confirmed that the Government has no plan for the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) to be amended to include creative subjects. During a House of Lords Select Committee Inquiry into the future challenges for the creative industries, Lord Foster of Bath asked the Minister directly if he would add ‘arts and creative subjects’ to the EBacc’, to which Halfon replied there are no plans to change the EBacc.

The full transcript can be found here.

Brexit & Immigration

UKSPF Local Spending Plans Approved

The Government has announced that local spending plans for the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) have been approved. The UKSPF promises to match and exceed EU funding in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Across the UK, a share of £2.6 billion will be spent between 2022 and 2025 on ‘levelling up’ in three key areas: communities and place, supporting local business and people and skills. Local areas across England will see £1.58 billion, Scotland £212 million, Wales £585 million and Northern Ireland £127 million made available under the fund.

Parliamentary & Other Government News

Law to Not Change Over Parthenon Marbles

The Prime Minister has reportedly ruled out changing the law to prevent the British Museum returning the Parthenon marbles to Greece. This comes after Greek newspapers reported on talks between the British Museum and the Greek government about returning the marbles contentiously taken by Lord Elgin in the 19^th century.

No. 10 has reiterated their view that the British museum's collection is operationally independent of the UK Government, and as such, the decision will lie with the museum's trustees. 

Local Concern Over Plans for Visitor Centre in Saltaire

A proposal is in place to build a Community, Arts, Heritage and Future Technology Centre in the Victorian model village of Saltaire, Bradford. It’s received a mixed response locally with some welcoming the build on what is otherwise unused land and an old public toilet. Others however say it would be a ‘permanent stain’ on the UNESCO world heritage site.

Response to the November public consultation is now available here.

New VAT Penalties & Interest Charges Introduced

HMRC has published new promotional material to support the introduction of new VAT penalties and interest charges. These materials can be used to communicate with your audiences about changes to VAT interest charges, late submission and late payment penalties.

This will affect all VAT registered businesses from 1 January 2023.

Charities Now Able to Claim Gift Aid on Waived Loans

HMRC now allows charities to claim Gift Aid on waived loans if specific conditions are met and the donation is eligible for Gift Aid.

This article from the Charity Tax Group helpfully sets out how to get it right and structure the gift to maximise the benefit to donor and charity.

Labour Policy Launch: Holiday Homes, ‘Landlord Licencing’, & Devolved Taxation

Last week, the Labour Party released their policy document. The report covered a range of topics, focusing on economic and political change across the whole of the UK, and recommends a transformation in governance of the UK’s nations and regions. The full report is available here.

Elon Musk’s Technology to Improve Rural Internet Services

It has been announced that a new government trial will use Elon Musk’s Starlink technology in an aim to improve internet connectivity in remote areas. Low orbit satellites will beam broadband signals down to Earth where there is limited ground infrastructure, or it would be expensive and difficult to put in place.

It will initially be used in chosen locations in the Lake District, North Yorkshire Moors, and Snowdonia as part of the government’s £5bn Project Gigabit initiative which aims to remove no internet areas.

Sector Digest

Read on for a breakdown of the latest news from across the sector.

Developing a ‘Place Strategy for the North’

The NP11 group of 11 northern local enterprise partnerships (LEPs) has worked with Historic England, as well as Arts Council England, National Lottery Heritage Fund [Alliance member] and the Environment Agency to develop a ‘Place Strategy for the North’.

The Strategy recognises the significant contribution that heritage makes to economic growth and job creation across the North of England. It sets out how a strengthened place proposition will boost investment and relocation interest, future prosperity and sustainability, and identifies the potential to add £2.7 billion GVA (Gross Value Added) to the Northern economy on top of the £10.4 billion already generated by the North’s arts, culture and heritage sectors.

The Benefits of Learning About Local Heritage at School

The success of Historic England’s Heritage Schools programme is outlined in its new report, which highlights that learning about heritage has many benefits, including increased engagement, local pride and a sense of place.

Over the last decade, the programme focused on Levelling Up areas and aimed to embed heritage into existing school subjects across the curriculum. More information on the programme and its benefits can be found here.

Controversial Remodel of National Gallery’s Sainsbury Wing Approved

A £35m proposal to remodel the entrance of the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery has been backed unanimously. This project has been controversial, as critics say the plans could damage the unique architecture of the Grade-1 listed Wing, and eight past presidents of the RIBA [Alliance member] described it as ‘ill-judged’ and ‘insensitive’.

The director of the National Gallery has however forcefully defended the proposal, calling it carefully considered, increasing inclusivity, and promoting sustainability. More information on the decision can be found here.

Museum of London Now Closed Until 2026

The Museum of London’s main site at London Wall has now closed as a visitor attraction in preparation for its relocation to West Smithfield. The Museum’s final weekend of opening was the busiest in its history, seeing 13,000 visitors.
