Golden Jubilee Of Arts Council

EDM number 1166 in 1995-96, proposed by Patrick Cormack on 15/07/1996.

That this House congratulates the Arts Council of England on marking 50 years of achievement in publicly-funded arts by the Council and its predecessor; notes the holding of an exhibition in the Upper Waiting Hall highlighting the achievements of public subsidy over half a century and the benefits of investing in the arts to both the economy and to the community; welcomes the extra resources from the National Lottery to improve the arts infrastructure, to widen access and to help young people; and endorses the National Heritage Committee's view that 'the money available to all four arts councils should be, at least, maintained in real terms year by year'.

This motion has been signed by a total of 52 MPs.
