HC Deb 30 March 1987 vol 113 c431W
78. Mr. Crowther

asked the Minister for the Arts what steps he has taken in the past year to widen audiences for music.

Mr. Luce

The Arts Council includes in its criteria for the allocation of grant the commitment of an arts body to the attraction of wider audiences. My new arts marketing scheme will, I hope, encourage many arts bodies to produce imaginative ideas for marketing themselves.
