HC Deb 06 November 1975 vol 899 cc316-7W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will invite members of panels of the Arts Council to put forward names for consideration for membership of the Arts Council.

Mr. Hugh Jenkins

A variety of confidential discussions take place before appointments are made to the Arts Council and the views of many people and organisations are sought. Those consulted are likely to include members of the panels of the Arts Council.
