Mr. John Marshall
To ask the Minister for the Arts if he will make a statement about business sponsorship of the arts.
Mr. Renton
Business sponsorship of the arts is holding up extremely well. Last year £44·5 million was attracted. I have now increased the budget for the business sponsorship incentive scheme, by £1 million, to £4·5 million from 1992–93, to sustain the growth of sponsorship which makes a vital contribution to the well-being of the arts in this country.
