Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Jim Cunningham (Labour). It was answered by Jeremy Hunt (Conservative) on Monday, 25 October 2010 on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.


Arts (Funding)

Question
What recent discussions he has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on funding for the arts.
Answer

I am pleased to say that last week I agreed with the Chancellor a package of cuts that will limit the cuts in funding for front-line arts organisations and museums to just 15%, a figure that compares very favourably with many other parts of the public sector.
