Rossendale and Darwen MP Janet Anderson has launched an Early Day Motion in the Commons urging support for new writing talent.
Mrs Anderson, a member of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, said it was vital that new writers were supported and developed so that audiences got an interesting and diverse range of work.
The motion states that new writing should be at the heart of all subsidised theatres in the UK and the development of writing talent should not fall off the agenda of Arts Council offices or other funding bodies such as local authorities and theatres.
Mrs Anderson wants the Government to ensure that new writing is supported adequately and remains a key component of the cultural programme both nationally and locally.

Is this really the most important thing for her to be doing with her time. What a total waste of time and space she is. Let's have a General Election now!

pull some strings wrote:So, pull some strings.....every Govt in Europe should call an election now ? Have you compared Britain's unemployment rate with the rest of Europe ? Isn't manufacturing struggling in all European countries ? Have you compared the downturn in the UK to say Germany, Italy, Spain, US. Japan, Ireland, etc etc ??
It's wonderful that Writers, musicians etc bring revenue to the country. Pity it can't be said for people involved in manufacturing who are losing their jobs day after day. Perhaps Mrs Anderson should be seeking an 'early day motion' about Labour's colusion to close all our motor industry, in fact every one our industries down!!! She is a symbol of 'tokenism,' to busy filling out her expenses claims. GENERAL ELECTION NOW!
