HC Deb 17 February 1986 vol 92 c55W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Minister for the Arts why the Arts Council has still not declared the level of funding for the South Bank board; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Luce

The South Bank board only received full details of GLC expenditure on the concert halls comparatively recently, and it has had to make its case to the Arts Council. That case is now being considered, together with other applications for post-abolition funding.
