The Culture Sector (EDM840)

The Culture Sector

EDM number 840 in 2013-14, proposed by John McDonnell on 04/12/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Cultural heritage and Museums and galleries.

That this House is concerned that the Government's funding cuts to museums and galleries has led to continued privatisation of services; notes that this has resulted in reductions in staff and the increased use of zero-hours contracts and volunteer staff; believes that the cuts and casualisation create a diminished experience for visitors; and calls on the Government to increase funding for arts and culture to ensure that the UK's cultural heritage is safeguarded for future generations.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
