Arts Funding Decisions (EDM738)

Arts Funding Decisions

EDM number 738 in 2007-08, proposed by Janet Anderson on 21/01/2008.
Categorised under the topic of Arts.

That this House welcomes the McMaster Review on supporting excellence in the arts; is pleased that the report identifies the need for professional judgement and increased involvement of artists and practitioners in decision-making; supports the rejection of top-down targets and crude box-ticking in reaching funding decisions; notes the particular concern of arts practitioners about the current process of determining funding decisions; and believes that there should be a thorough independent review of how Arts Council England operates to enable artists to have confidence in the way in which the arts is judged and funded.

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