§ Dr. GlynTo ask the Minister for the Arts what representations he has received about the merger of the Arts Council and the Crafts Council; and if he will take steps to ensure that the balance of funds available to the Arts Council and the Crafts Council will remain the same.
§ Mr. LuceI have received many representations on this issue. No decision will be taken until the new year, but I have already given indicative figures of the level of support for the crafts for the next three years, in my grant announcement of 15 November.
