Valerie Davey

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what plans he has to make an announcement on creative partnerships. [151191]

Mr. Chris Smith

On Wednesday 21 February, I will announce the locations in which my Department plans to develop creative partnership pilots: an initiative which will provide sustained opportunities for schools to work in partnership with creative arts organisations and individuals. I will also give details of the local consultation that will begin in these areas to determine the partners involved. Copies of this announcement will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
