12. Ms Rosie Winterton

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what plans he has to meet the chair and director of the North Yorkshire and Humberside regional arts board to discuss the development of the arts in their region. [7508]

Mr. Fisher

I met the chair and chief executive of North Yorkshire and Humberside regional arts board during my visit to Leeds on 17 July. I was able to see for myself the high quality of artistic activity in the region and was impressed by the commitment of North Yorkshire and Humberside arts board to the arts in the area. I wish them great success when they host the year of photography and the electronic image next year. We look forward to an innovative programme of events.
