HC Deb 25 July 1980 vol 989 c397W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will announce the annual funding of the Royal Academy through the Arts Council as agreed by the previous Administration.

Mr. St. John-Stevas

I am not aware of any such agreement. I understand that the Arts Council has considered the matter, but has told the Royal Academy that it is currently unable to make funds available.
