HC Deb 06 April 1978 vol 947 c167W
Mr. Litterick

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the total sum of money spent by the Arts Council during the last complete year, and what per capita apportionment this represents.

Mr. Oakes

The Arts Council's grant-in-aid for 1977–78 was £41,725,000. This represents about 77p per head of the estimated population of Great Britain.
