HC Deb 18 February 1991 vol 186 cc27-8W
34. Mr. Cohen

To ask the Minister for the Arts when he plans to meet the chair of Greater London Arts to discuss funding for smaller arts clients in London.

Mr. Renton

I have no such plans. The funding of arts clients in London is a matter for the Arts Council and for Greater London Arts as appropriate.

36. Mr. Butler

To ask the Minister for the Arts what proportion of central Government arts spending is spent within Greater London.

Mr. Renton

Nearly 37 per cent. of the Arts Council of Great Britain's total grant in aid in 1989–90 was allocated to clients in Greater London.
