DCMS publishes Structural Reform Plan

By Pete Hayman    16 Jul 2010

Culture secretary Jeremy Hunt has set out plans to deliver a "fantastic" London Olympics and revive competitive sports in schools at the heart of a new departmental blueprint.

Hunt has also unveiled ambitions to reform media regulation and offer universal broadband as part of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport's (DCMS) Structural Reform Plan. Designed to shape the department's activity over the next three years, the new plan also aims to contribute towards wider government plans for a Big Society and help stimulate economic growth.

Among the key commitments of the blueprint is the delivery of a "safe and successful" London Games that provides a lasting legacy, as well as encouraging young people to participate in competitive sport. Hunt also hopes to reform the distribution of National Lottery funding to its original good causes and nurture philanthropy, while developing conditions for sustainable growth in tourism.

Further details that outline the DCMS' policies, plans and priorities for culture, heritage and other parts of the secretary's brief are due to be revealed following the government's spending review later this year. Hunt said: "We need to help our world-renowned heritage, arts and culture sectors to develop a new funding model with increased philanthropy and the return of national Lottery money to its original clear focus.

"And we are committed to using the opportunity of London's games to boost our world-class tourism offer and deliver a legacy of revitalised competitive sport in schools. "So it is timely and fitting that we publish this blueprint today. Our task is huge, and made all the more daunting by the economic climate in which we will have to implement it, but this plan is achievable and I am absolutely confident we can deliver it."
