Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Janet Anderson (Labour), on Thursday, 11 June 2009, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 35 members in total.


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.
