Subject: DCMS Select Committee inquiry
CULTURE MEDIA AND SPORT COMMITTEE
HOUSE OF COMMONS - SESSION 2005-06
15 November 2005
No. 10
New inquiry:
Protecting, preserving and making accessible our nation's heritage
The Culture, Media and Sport Committee is announcing today a new inquiry
into the heritage sector.
The Committee is particularly interested in receiving evidence on the
following issues:
* What the Department for Culture, Media and Sport should identify
as priorities in the forthcoming Heritage White Paper;
* The remit and effectiveness of DCMS, English Heritage and other
relevant organisations in representing heritage interests inside and
outside Government;
* The balance between heritage and development needs in planning
policy;
* Access to heritage and the position of heritage as a cultural
asset in the community;
* Funding, with particular reference to the adequacy of the budget
for English Heritage and for museums and galleries, the impact of the
London 2012 Olympics on Lottery funding for heritage projects, and
forthcoming decisions on the sharing of funds from Lottery sources
between good causes;
* What the roles and responsibilities should be for English
Heritage, the Heritage Lottery Fund, local authorities, museums and
galleries, charitable and other non-Governmental organisations in
maintaining the nation's heritage; and
* Whether there is an adequate supply of professionals with
conservation skills; the priority placed by planning authorities on
conservation; and means of making conservation expertise more accessible
to planning officers, councillors and the general public.
Written submissions are invited from any interested organisation or
individual by Thursday 19 January 2006.
Submissions should give the name and postal address of the person
sending the memorandum and should state whether it has been prepared
specifically for the Committee. If the memorandum is from an
organisation rather than an individual, it should briefly explain the
nature and membership of the organisation. The Committee may publish
some of the submissions it receives. For more guidance on the preferred
format, see http://www.parliament.uk/commons/selcom/witguide.htm.
Submissions should be sent to the Clerk of the Committee at the address
below. It is expected that oral evidence sessions will be held during
February and March.
