HC Deb 06 February 1989 vol 146 c543W
60. Mr. Tredinnick

To ask the Minister for the Arts what proportion of business sponsorship of the arts is spent outside London and the south-east.

Mr. Luce

Figures for the total level of business sponsorship outside London and the south-east are not available. However, under the business sponsorship incentive scheme, which matches new sponsorship, 70 per cent. of awards have gone to arts organisations based outside London.
