HC Deb 05 March 1990 vol 168 c481W 481W

§ Mr. Sumberg
To ask the Minister for the Arts if he will make a statement on progress made in achieving easier access for the disabled in arts venues and libraries.

§ Mr. Luce
In December 1988 I gave £150,000 to the ADAPT fund, set up by the Carnegie Trust to improve the accessibility of arts venues, including libraries, for disabled people. I am pleased to say that the fund has to date made 23 awards provisionally worth £167,250.
