Question: Requesting information relating to The Department for Culture, Media and Sports entertainment budget. Case Number 108748
The total annual DCMS budget for 2007 and 2008, broken down if possible on either a monthly or a quarterly basis. DCMS does not have an entertainment budget. Expenditure on entertainment is included within hospitality expenditure. The funding for hospitality is included within a combined non-pay administration budget covering conferences, committees and hospitality and is not separately identifiable. The Department’s accounting system does not separately record information on entertainment.
The budget for DCMS's 2008 Christmas Party in London. No public money was spent on the DCMS Christmas party. As such this expenditure does not appear in any DCMS budget.
