DRAFT DRAMA STRATEGY FOR WALES

Early day motion 370, tabled 1 March 1999 by Alan Williams (Labour). Signed by 21 members.

That this House deplores the decision of a quango, the Welsh Arts Council, to allow only five weeks consultation on its draft Drama Strategy for Wales; notes that this will mean that the consultation finishes before the Welsh Assembly is elected; and urges the Secretary of State for Wales to intervene to ensure that no irreversible decisions are taken by the Arts Council for Wales before the Assembly has had full opportunity to consider and debate the proposals and any options.

Signatures by party: Labour 16, Plaid Cymru 3, Conservative 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
