Answer

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 28th October 2022 to Question UIN 71270.

Art galleries operate independently from the government. Decisions related to the content of exhibitions, such as curatorial decisions on the depiction of women in artworks, are operational matters for the galleries.
