Early Day Motion on Arts Funding
Alison McGovern MP for Wirral South has submitted an EDM on the topic of arts funding. To date the motion has 32 signatures, it reads as follows:
‘That this House celebrates the cultural value of the arts and entertainment sector; notes that the creative industries are a large employer and are currently growing at more than twice the rate of the rest of the economy, contributing 11.4 billion to the UK’s balance of trade; and therefore reaffirms a commitment to public investment in the arts because the sector generates more for the economy than the amount invested, and provides a solid basis for the wider creative industries.’
