HC Deb 12 July 1993 vol 228 c353W
15. Mr. John Owen Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if he will establish an independent inquiry into the funding of Theatre-in-Education.

Mr. Sproat

My Department does not involve itself in the funding of individual arts organisations. It is for the appropriate agencies—in this case, the Arts Councils, regional arts boards and local authorities—to consider support of Theatre-in-Education in the context of their own funding policies and priorities.
