Theatre Funding (EDM2704)

Theatre Funding

EDM number 2704 in 2005-06, proposed by Neil Gerrard on 10/10/2006.

That this House recognises the important role that theatre plays in local communities across the UK; notes that 25 million tickets to theatre, ballet and opera are sold every year in the UK; further notes that the Arts Council has estimated that the Â£120 million it invests in theatre annually generates Â£2.6 billion in resulting economic activity; notes the significant increase in the Government's theatre funding over the past decade; expresses concern at suggestions that the Government will reduce funding for British theatres below the rate of inflation following the coming Comprehensive Spending Review; and therefore calls upon the Government to maintain increased theatre funding to ensure that the dramatic arts in the UK continue to perform at a world-class standard of which the country can be proud.

This motion has been signed by a total of 74 MPs.
