Written Answers. - Arts Plan.
I have received over 225 submissions in response to my discussion document Towards a New Framework for the Arts as part of the review of the arts legislation. I am not in a position to meet with all of the individuals and organisations that have an interest in the review. The submissions are being evaluated at present and the outcome will establish the need, if any, for more focused consultation with the sector. I am aware of Introart's interest in the review and will invite them to be involved in any focused consultation of relevance that may be organised at the appropriate time.
