HC Deb 11 May 1987 vol 116 c97W
Mr. William Powell

asked the Minister for the Arts whether independent museums and galleries are eligible for the arts marketing scheme.

Mr. Luce

The scheme is an experimental one with a limited budget, intended to encourage subsidised bodies to market more efficiently. It would not be practicable to widen its scope at present, but it allows for small projects to be grouped and independent museums and galleries can be included in this way.
