§ Mr. Crawfordasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish figures from international sources available to him showing the 567W total amount spent on the arts in Norway, Sweden, Austria and Switzerland by the Norwegian, Swedish, Austrian and Swiss Governments, respectively, at the latest available date; and by how much this represents an increase or decrease over the preceding year.
§ Mr. Hugh JenkinsI do not have readily available figures for these four countries in any one year. In any case figures for arts expenditure in different countries reflect different historical, cultural, social and administrative patterns, and do not lend themselves to comparison one with another.
