In accordance with section 21 of the Arts Act 2003, the special committee on the traditional arts was established pursuant to a direction from me, as Minister, to offer advice to the council in this matter. I had no role regarding the committee's procedures, including the drafting and approval of the committee's final report. The committee's advice was directed to the council. I therefore cannot comment on the matter raised by the Deputy.
