1 Estimate Memorandum Department for Culture, Media and Sport Main Estimate Overall Summary The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is here to help make Britain the world s most creative and exciting place to live, visit and do business. We protect and promote our cultural and artistic heritage and help businesses and communities to grow by investing in innovation and highlighting Britain as a fantastic place to visit. Alongside this, we protect our deeply held beliefs in freedom and equality. We help to give the UK a unique advantage in the global race for economic success. The Main Estimate for seeks the necessary resources and cash to ensure the communications, digital, creative, media, cultural, tourism, sport and leisure industries have the framework to grow and make a real impact on people s lives. We are responsible for the competition and policy issues relating to media, broadcasting, digital and telecoms sectors, and issues relating to women, sexual orientation and transgender equality matters through the Government Equalities Office, which is part of DCMS. Following the General Election it was announced on 3rd June that the Digital Economy Unit (DEU) was to be transferred from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Ed Vaizey, the Minister for the Digital Economy, will continue to work across both departments. A line has been included in the text to part 1 of the Main Estimate to record this fact. Table 1.

4 Notes to explain changes in the Resource and Capital DEL from SR2013 to Main Estimate Note 1 Child Internet Safety - Following the Prime Minister s speech in July 2013, Child Exploitation and Online Protection, the National Crime Agency gave the search engines a list of terms to blacklist. Home Office has worked with the National Crime Agency and others to monitor the effectiveness of new technology introduced by Google and Microsoft. Following a discussion between the Prime Minister, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and the Home Secretary on 26 June 2013 it was agreed the DCMS should take the Government s lead for issues around children accessing pornography online. As a consequence the small policy function previously based in DfE, that led on this work transferred to DCMS with effect from October Note 2 2m allocated in Budget 2015 breaks down as follow; 0.5m for Turner Prize Exhibition (Hull, City of Culture) 1.1m for tourism marketing to Visit Britain and Visit England 0.3m to install Wi-Fi in libraries 0.1m for the Skills Investment Fund Note 3 In Budget 2014 the Chancellor announced a new two-year 20 million fund for repairs to cathedrals, of which 10m will be available in The cathedrals are a key part of the cultural identity of many of England's cities, and are powerful symbols of our shared history. The Church of England's 42 cathedrals alone welcome over 11m visitors a year with only 6,000 staff but over 15,000 dedicated volunteers, demonstrating how much cathedrals contribute to, but also depend upon, the communities around them. Church of England cathedrals generate annually at least 350 million for the economy. The 20m of grants will help meet the costs of urgent repairs to these buildings and support local fundraising efforts by Church of England and Roman Catholic cathedrals. Note m allocated in Autumn Statement 2014 breaks down as follows: 4.4m to reimburse tour companies organising trips to the UK for Chinese tourists for the cost of visas 3.1m for First World War commemoration projects including the Thiepval memorial 2m to increase the number of football coach educators 1.5m increase to the grant scheme for repairs and maintenance to Listed Places of Worship, and 0.5m to fund a campaign advertising Loch Ness as a UK destination for international travellers.

5 Note 5 Ed Vaizey, Minister for Culture and Edward Timpson MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Children & Families agreed in June 2013 to bring the funding for literacy charities into a single body for decision, distribution and monitoring. They therefore agreed that that DfE funding of Booktrust for their Book gifting programme should sit with Arts Council England (ACE). ACE already provided grants to a number of other literacy organisations as well as separate funding to Booktrust, as a National Portfolio Organisation. Public libraries are an important partner for Booktrust's programmes and given ACE's responsibility for supporting and developing libraries the transfer of responsibility complements existing arrangements. Note 6 Budget Exchange is a mechanism that allows Departments to carry forward a forecast DEL underspend from one year to the next. Under Budget Exchange, departments may surrender a forecast DEL underspend in advance of the end of the financial year (by means of a DEL reduction in the Supplementary Estimate) in return for a corresponding DEL increase in the following year, subject to a prudent limit. Underspends in totalling 17.2m Resource DEL and 68m Capital DEL (of which 34m was made available at Main Estimate) were identified and added to the budgetary controls to support planned spending in Note m allocated in Budget 2015 breaks down as follows: 6m for depreciation 2.5m for prevention work on nuisance calls 1.9m for the Skills Investment Fund 1.1m for the Women and Broadband Challenge Fund 1.5m Church Roof repair fund 1m for a Video Games support fund 0.5m for the Yorkshire Festival Note 8 As part of the 2010 Licence Fee settlement, the BBC Trust signed an agreement to contribute to the cost of providing broadband. The BBC will pay 150m of licence fee income a year for two years to the DCMS. This will pay for funding broadband roll-out to rural areas across the UK. Note 9 BDUK funding was re-profiled at Budget The total funding invested over the lifetime of the projects will remain the same but the spend profile has been adjusted to unblock and accelerate delivery, ensuring the right amount of funding is available in the years in which local authority projects need it. This re-profiling exercise is an on-going process. The profiles will be kept under review as new information is received from delivery partners.

6 Note m capital funding allocated in Autumn Statement breaks down as follows: 8m for football infrastructure projects 5.55m is part of the 78m over the next four years to go towards the cost of building a new theatre called The Factory Manchester, and 0.5m for the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry to provide new space for temporary exhibitions. Note 11 When the Horserace Totalisator Board (the Tote) was sold in 2011, the Government committed to splitting the net proceeds 50/50 between the taxpayer and racing. As allowed by the sale terms, in December 2013 Betfred made an early payment of the outstanding sale consideration. Given the changed position, the British Horseracing Authority asked if racing could receive the remaining balance of its 50% share in one lump sum during 2014/15. The Government agreed to this request and the payment of 49.9m was made to the Racing Foundation. Consequently the 10m allocated in SR13 to cover payment was not needed and so removed. Note m allocated in Budget 2015 breaks down as follows: 7.1m for Wi-Fi in Libraries 1.0m for Turner Prize Exhibition (Hull, City of Culture) closed road circuits for cycling for the Muni Theatre refurbishment.
