HL Deb 25 March 1987 vol 486 cc284-6WA
Lord Wyatt of Weeford

asked Her Majesty's Government:

For what journals, magazines and literary works the Arts Council provides funds, how much is provided in each case, and what are the criteria for providing such funds.

Lord Belstead

Grants are made by the Arts Council and Regional Arts Associations for the following magazines, journals and literary works and to organisations publishing a variety of these items.

Allocations are made according to the literary merit of the product and the contribution it makes to a particular art form; they take into account relevance to the regions' local documentary or oral traditions and the need to foster new writers.
