Yes. There used to be the 1% arts fund for community or arts projects in the regions. It now seems to be gone. What are the views of the witnesses on this fund being brought back? Would it be something they would support? About ten years ago, I undertook a project at home myself under the auspices of that fund. Approximately 1% of the cost of a capital project was spent in an area and it was possible to identify an art project in a community. This seems to have stopped. What are the witnesses' views in this regard? I think it is a mechanism that should be brought back into operation.
