PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Cultural Heritage (9 February 2021)

The Government fully recognises the contribution that the UK’s oral traditions, social practices and festive events make to the country’s cultural fabric. While it is not possible to measure all intangible heritage, as it is constantly evolving, there are many programmes to help communities continue to practice those traditions which are important to them. For example, organisations such as Arts Council England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund provide grants for community organisations to support such intangible customs as traditional craft skills, languages and artistic expressions.
