HC Deb 19 March 1990 vol 169 cc420-1W
Mr. Caborn

To ask the Minister for the Arts what functions his office carries out at the regional level; where the regional offices are located in each of the regions; what staff are employed and at what grades; what proportion of his office's budget is spent in each of the regions; and what geographical boundaries determine his office's regions.

Mr. Luce

The functions of my office are carried out only in London. Most of its expenditure programme is in the form of support to arts organisations, museums, galleries and other bodies. It is not possible to estimate the proportion that is spent in each region.
