HC Deb 20 March 1989 vol 149 cc463-4W
45. Mr. Butler

To ask the Minister for the Arts what assistance is given by the Government towards the development and export of British craft.

Mr. Luce

The Crafts Council, which is funded by my Department, seeks actively to promote the sales of works by artists/craftsmen at home and abroad. During the past year, its activities have generated sales of crafts exceeding £2¼ million, of which more than £450,000 (20 per cent.) has been for export.
