HC Deb 14 February 1978 vol 944 c183W
17. Mr. Arnold

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, further to the reply of 30th January, what consideration she gives to regional factors in determining the total available resources for capital purposes in the Arts Council grants.

Mr. Oakes

In determining the resources which can be made available my right hon. Friend has taken into account that projects outside London have accounted for over 85 per cent. of the Arts Council's capital grants.
