HC Deb 20 May 1977 vol 932 cc314-5W
Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what progress she is making in persuading the Arts Council to become more democratic and representative of workers in the arts and entertainment.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

In making appointments to the Arts Council I shall bear in mind the need to reflect the interests of those who work in the arts and entertainments field, but also the need to represent the interests of the wider public who support the arts directly and through taxation.
