Cultural Health Of The Nation

EDM number 58 in 1996-97, proposed by Alan Meale on 24/10/1996.

That this House considers it has a responsibility to nurture the cultural health of the nation to ensure that the quality and diversity of the nation's culture is preserved for the future; believes that the encouragement of the arts by the 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 in the arts which both culturally and economically are one of Britain's most significant success stories.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
