NEW WRITING
That this House notes that new writing is not explicitly mentioned in Arts Council England's Theatre Strategy; believes it is vital that new writers are supported and developed so that audiences are delivered an interesting and diverse range of work; further believes that new writing should be at the heart of all subsidised theatres in the UK; is concerned that the development of new writing does not fall off the agenda of Arts Council offices, other funding bodies, local authorities and theatres; and therefore urges the Government to ensure that new writing is supported adequately and remains a key component of the cultural programme both nationally and locally.
