Lemauga Lydia Sosene to the Minister of Internal Affairs: Further to her answer to written question 35145 (2026: how many, if any, grants for “Arts, cultural, heritage, or environmental activities where the primary purpose is participation, preservation, education, events, collections, facilities, or advocacy rather than community support outcomes”, were approved in 2024?
