Peter Aldous welcomes the support package for arts, culture and heritage but calls for the funds to be distributed as quickly as possible as many venues are on the brink.

This package is very much to be commended but, in distributing these desperately needed funds, will my hon. Friend the Minister get the money out as quickly as possible, as many venues are on the brink? And don’t forget those companies in the supply chain.

We know that time is not on our side. My hon. Friend is absolutely right to articulate that and we do want to get the money out as quickly as we possibly can.
