§ Mr. William Priceasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will list the organisations to which the Arts Council gave financial support during the last 12 months.
§ Mr. van StraubenzeeInformation about all subsidies given by the Arts Council of Great Britain, including those made by the Scottish and Welsh Arts Councils, will be provided in the 26th Annual Report and Accounts of the Council which is now in preparation. In the previous financial year the Arts Council offered subsidies to approximately 670 organisations, details of which are available in the published Report and Accounts for that year, and this number has not significantly changed.
I will arrange for the hon. Member to receive a copy of the 1970–71 Report as soon as it is published.
