74. Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

To ask the Minister for the Arts what guidance he has given to arts bodies on the benefits of participation in the business expansion scheme and youth training scheme.

Mr. Luce

I am encouraged by the amount of support given to arts bodies by my colleagues in other Departments. The directors of regional arts associations and their officers are always ready to advise arts bodies and individual artists on the details of the various schemes.
