The Government has announced its intention to establish a National Endowment for Science and the Arts (NESTA) to be funded initially from the National Lottery. Our proposals for NESTA, including possible sources of funding in addition to the Lottery, will be set out in a white paper which my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State will be publishing on 21 July.
