§ 38. Mr. Tony Banks
To ask the Minister for the Arts if he will publish a table listing all the initiatives and schemes launched by(a) the Office of Arts and Libraries and (b) the Arts Council in each of the last three years the administration of which has not been devolved to regional arts associations.

§ Mr. Luce
No. The Arts Council's annual reports for 1986–87 and 1987–88, its three-year plan and awards and schemes folder for 1988–89 have been placed in the Library. The council operates only schemes which are essentially national in character. The Office of Arts and Libraries administer only the business sponsorship incentive scheme and the arts marketing scheme.
