HC Deb 29 November 1993 vol 233 c291W
Sir John Hannam

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what proposals the Arts Council has to abolish the arts and disability unit; what advice it received from the Arts Council's arts and disability monitoring committee on this matter; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brooke

The Arts Council intends to integrate the work of the units within the council responsible for implementing strategic policy in the fields of cultural diversity, disability, and women in the arts, with the art form departments. Such structural changes are matters for the Arts Council to decide.
