Re: DCMS – Yes £5bn although some of that is spend it manages (such as the BBC Licence Fee, about £3.5bn per year, and lottery funding). The amount it gets from central government to directly allocate is about £1.7bn.
To put the £66m in context, that’s about a third of the amount it spends in this region annually.
