Written evidence to the Culture Media and Sport Committee inquiry into the work of Arts Council England.

They wish to examine the economic and artistic criteria that underpin funding decisions. Furthermore, they sought views on whether the geographical distribution of funding is fair and the justification for the current weighting of this towards London.
