HC Deb 17 July 1985 vol 83 c153W
Mr. Moynihan

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the Government seek to extend the funding of British Council cultural programmes abroad.

Mr. Renton

We would not wish to anticipate the result of the public expenditure survey which will as usual be made known in my right hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer's autumn statement, nor the particular decisions my right hon. and learned Friend will take for the programmes for which he is responsible.
