I note Part 2 of the Bill states that a local authority may provide financial and other assistance it deems appropriate to stimulate and promote the arts. It would be fitting to insert the word 'shall' in this section because we all know that when money becomes tight in local authorities, funding for the arts may be the soft option, with cuts in grant aid to local communities and organisations. I ask the Minister to consider inserting the word 'shall' rather than using the word 'may' in this Part of the Bill.
