§ 76. Sir Knox Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will state the criteria upon which public money is used in bursaries granted by the Arts Council; and whether individuals interested in artistic ventures receiving grants are precluded from serving on the panel which recommends the distribution of public money in such grants.
§ Miss Jennie LeeThe criteria are determined by the Arts Council and differ according to the type of bursary involved.
It is a rule of the Council that any member of a panel, or of the Council, having a financial or other personal interest in an application must declare his interest and abstain from voting or taking part in the discussion except to provide information.
