Written question asked by Lord Tebbit (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) on Monday, 6 November 2006.


Culture: ICONS

Question
What the total cost of the organisation ICONS has been; and how much of this has been provided out of public funds.
Answer

ICONS is a Culture Online project run in partnership with Cognitive Applications. All project costs are provided out of public funds. The running costs amount to £43,500 each month (£522,000 per year). The project ends in March 2007, but has been designed to become a self-sustainable non-profit organization after that date. The total cost therefore amounts to approximately £1,000,000.
