That this House believes the Government has a responsibility to nurture the cultural health of the nation to ensure that its quality and diversity is preserved for the future; believes that the encouragement of the arts by Government would lead to a climate of free artistic expression, experimentation, development and participation by millions of people in Britain thus allowing a healthy, vibrant and lively industry of arts to thrive; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to invest more public resources into the arts which both culturally and economiclly is one of Britain's most significant success stories.
