HC Deb 04 March 1985 vol 74 c363W
31. Mr. Freud

asked the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State answering in respect of the Arts, if he will estimate the revenue that will accrue to the arts from sponsorship in the year 1985–86.

Mr. Waldegrave

Business sponsorship of the arts has risen from £500,000 in 1976 to £15 million in 1984. I expect this increase to continue, but it is not possible to estimate future figures for any given year.
