HC Deb 07 September 2004 vol 424 c1219W
Miss Kirkbride

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many individuals who have received an Arts Council grant have had to pay back part or all of their grant because they did not meet the standard conditions for grants in each year since 1997. [187283]

Estelle Morris

Since April 2003, one grant to an individual has been reduced due to a breach of the standard conditions.

Figures for individuals are only available from April 2003, when Arts Council England introduced Grants for the Arts, Individuals. Previously, Arts Council England funding programmes did not make a distinction between organisations and individuals; therefore they do not hold records of this nature.
