Summary
Briscoe asks whether the Arts Council Vote has risen; Nealon says it is up 4% on last year, broadly keeping pace with inflation.
Is the Vote for the Minister's Department with regard to the Arts Council up or down on last year? If so, by how much?
Comment on this
——and my Department two weeks ago. The Vote for the Arts Council is marginally up — 4 per cent — on last year, and 1 per cent on the outturn of last year, but it will be affected by the various changes made in the Vote for remuneration. It has kept pace with inflation, but no more than that.
