A UK government minister has firmly denied rumors about the potential abolition of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) under proposed government reforms. Chris Bryant, addressing these rumors in the House of Commons, asserted that the department plays a vital role in society, impacting numerous aspects of daily life from sports to the creative industries. He characterized claims of the department's demise as 'madness' and expressed confidence that it would continue to operate effectively in the future, despite ongoing speculation and challenges from opposition MPs.
I am not going to put this rumour to bed-I am going to bury it. I am absolutely certain that in a year's time we will be able to sing, in the words of Stephen Sondheim from the musical Follies, 'I'm still here'.
Honestly, the department is not going to be abolished; it would be absolute madness. This department touches the lives of nearly everybody in the country, every single day of the week.
