Arts Council Funding And Queer Up North
EDM number 702 in 2007-08, proposed by John Leech on 15/01/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Arts and Performing arts.
That this House condemns plans by the Arts Council to cut funding to Queer Up North; recognises the excellent work that organisation has done, including tackling homophobic bullying through performances of F.I.T. at local schools; notes with concern that funding cuts will lead to the cancellation of the 2008 festival in Manchester and all future touring plans, end its unique programme of work for young people and result in the immediate closure of the organisation; and therefore calls on the Arts Council to overturn its decision.
This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
