HC Deb 17 December 1990 vol 183 c8W
30. Mr. John Marshall

To ask the Minister for the Arts how proposed expenditure on arts in 1991–92 relates in real terms to that in 1978–79.

Mr. Renton

The central Government arts programme for 191–92 will be £559 million, a real terms increase on 1978–79 of £214 million, or 62 per cent. I welcome this trend and hope it will continue.
