HC Deb 13 February 1979 vol 962 cc479-80W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will issue a circular to local authorities to remind them that community arts may secure funds from such sources as the urban aid and inner cities programmes.

Mr. Shore

The urban programme circulars make it clear that cultural projects qualify. Voluntary bodies already have advice on how to apply to their local authorities. Some community arts schemes are being funded under this programme.
