Minorities Arts Advisory Service

HC Deb 09 February 1979 vol 962 cc349-50W

Mr. Dunnett

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps she is taking to ensure that the work of the Minorities Arts Advisory Service can be sustained and, if possible, further developed.

Mr. Oakes

The Minorities Arts Aavisory Service is supported partly by grants from the Arts Council, which is granted-aided by my Department. I understand that MAAS has applied for an increased grant for the coming year. It is for the Arts Council to decide how far it can go towards meeting this request.
