Arts Bill 2002: Second Stage.
When I said earlier that the Minister's original proposals were watered down, I understated matters considerably. What about the three proposed standing committees on the traditional arts, arts in local authorities and innovation in the arts? They are obviously gone and lost forever at this stage. The hopes of many people in these areas have been dashed. The Minister broke promises in this regard.
