HC Deb 17 December 1974 vol 883 c368W
26. Mr. Jasper More

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take into account the full effect of inflation when calculating the grant to the Arts Council for 1975–76.

Mr. Hugh Jenkins

It is the normal practice to take the effects of inflation into account in considering the estimates. I am aware that the impact of inflation on the arts is particularly severe.
