§ Mr. Peter AinsworthTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what plans he has to ensure the financial stability of RADA; and if he will make a statement. [86080]
§ Mr. MudieI have been asked to reply.
The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art is a private institution not funded directly by Government.
The Arts Council of England has awarded £23.75 million of Lottery funds towards RADA's centenary project, which is intended to enable the Academy to achieve financial independence to continue as a key provider of drama training.
