Until recently, some banks played a significant role in the sponsorship of the arts. Putting on my other hat as Minister of State at the Department of Finance, I do not think it is realistic to think banks are selling their art collections solely for the purpose of sponsoring the arts in education. I suspect they have rather more pressing financial requirements. I want to be realistic on the subject. I note the Senator's suggestion and I would go a certain way with it.
