Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jeremy Hunt (Conservative), on Monday, 14 January 2008, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 51 members in total.


ARTS COUNCIL FUNDING

That this House regrets the timing of the decision made by the Arts Council to notify its regularly funded organisations of the details of its investment strategy; is concerned that this occurred over the Christmas period and that the appeal process is only lasting six weeks; is surprised that investment plans were announced before the publication of the McMaster Review and before the new Chief Executive of the Arts Council takes up his position in February; and calls on the Government and the Arts Council to ensure that there is sufficient time for organisations that are having their funding withdrawn to be properly consulted.
