HC Deb 05 December 1988 vol 143 cc36-7W
Mr. Jack

To ask the Minister for the Arts what moneys for touring have been set aside by the Arts Council for the next financial year.

Mr. Luce

I have made £6 million available for incentive funding and additional touring in the United Kingdom in 1989–90. The Arts Council will be determining the precise allocation of this sum in due course. In the current financial year the sum set aside for additional touring is £1.5 million.
