HC Deb 22 November 1982 vol 32 c336W
27. Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, whether he will consider additional funding for the arts in the Northern region.

Mr. Channon

Regional funding is a matter for the Arts Council. I understand that the total of its allocations to the Northern region for the present financial year is about £2 million compared with £1.8 million in 1981–82.
