Arts Council Funding

EDM number 682 in 2007-08, proposed by Jeremy Hunt on 14/01/2008.
Categorised under the topic of Arts.

That this House regrets the timing of the decision made by the Arts Council to notify its regularly funded organisations of the details of its investment strategy; is concerned that this occurred over the Christmas period and that the appeal process is only lasting six weeks; is surprised that investment plans were announced before the publication of the McMaster Review and before the new Chief Executive of the Arts Council takes up his position in February; and calls on the Government and the Arts Council to ensure that there is sufficient time for organisations that are having their funding withdrawn to be properly consulted.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
