Royal Ballet

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what funding the Royal Ballet has received from (a) central Government and (b) Government agencies to take the company abroad on tour in each of the last eight years.
Answer

The Arts Council does not direct the ROH management as to how they should allocate their funding across the Royal Ballet and the Royal Opera, as well as the additional strands of work the ROH undertakes. Therefore, a specific figure for the Royal Ballet Company's funding for their touring is not available.
