| 20 Apr 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-04-20) “Okay. I get the sense from what you are saying that the multi-year funding settlements will not actually make a significant difference, because the organisations are not able to rely on those projections to make multi-year plans.” | 37 |

| 20 Apr 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-04-20) “What work are you doing with museums and galleries to make sure that they can take full advantage of the flexibility and additional planning they can do under the three-year settlements? Are you supporting them to ensure that they maximise the opportunity?” | 42 |
| 20 Apr 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-04-20) “I can see the advantage in making sure that you have quality appointments and that you have diversity in the people who come forward—that is not always the same process that gets the same sorts of people—but obviously that has to be balanced against speed.

| 20 Apr 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-04-20) “To be clear, the challenge is not so much people who want to take up those roles, because you mentioned that they are unpaid. Of the 400 public appointments that DCMS is responsible for, how many of them are in museums and galleries specifically? What I am trying to get at is whether it is a capacity challenge within D…” | 60 |
| 20 Apr 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-04-20) “We have had quite a lot of discussion about financial management capabilities within the museum and gallery sector, and an important part of that is having the right board composition. There have been a lot of delays in appointing board members. Why is it taking so long to get the boards up to the level they should be …” | 72 |

| 26 Mar 2026 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 888) “I appreciate that this is, I would hope, your number one workstream and priority at the moment.

That is to give you a sense of how important this is to constitue…” | 169 |
