Arts Funding

EDM number 547 in 2010-12, proposed by Alison McGovern on 19/07/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Arts.

That this House celebrates the cultural value of the arts and entertainment sector; notes that the creative industries are a large employer and are currently growing at more than twice the rate of the rest of the economy, contributing 11.4 billion to the UK's balance of trade; and therefore reaffirms a commitment to public investment in the arts because the sector generates more for the economy than the amount invested, and provides a solid basis for the wider creative industries.

This motion has been signed by a total of 50 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
