The objects for which th e Arts Council of Great Britai n is established are :

1 To develop and improve the knowledge , understanding and practice of the arts ;

2 To increase the accessibility of the arts t o the public throughout Great Britain ; and

3 To co-operate with government departments , local authorities and other bodies to achiev e these objects .

Chairman's Introductio n

Having now completed would, for a variety of reasons, not be renewed . The four years as Chairman decisions were taken in the knowledge that they of the Arts Council I fee l would be unpopular in many quarters and arous e that this is a convenien t sharp controversy .

With perhaps one exception in the last seven o r eight years the increase in the Council's grant, barel y compensating for inflation, has left no margin fo r real growth . During this period forward V, .r ,(, commitments, entered into when some growt h QU4VV- W money each year could reasonably be expected , have inexorably matured . The net result up to th e end of 1980 has been an even thinner spread o f subsidy over the Council's clients in general . We hesitated, understandably but perhaps wrongly, t o withdraw grants in order to make room for muc h needed increases in particular sectors where artisti c standards were unquestioned .

Last December the nettle was belatedly grasped . Certain clients, notably the regional orchestras an d the touring dance companies, were in rea l difficulties through long periods of underfunding ; in some instances survival was in doubt . The Counci l therefore decided that a number of companies mus t have a significant real increase and that, in order t o make this possible, a rather smaller number of grants Secretary-General's Report Critical Judgments

Further the cash grant fell short of what th e decisions were indeed closely related to the level o f Arts Council asked for after pruning the aggregat e grant.'

Similarly, Sir Hugh Willatt, my predecessor a s subject reports which follow), it was nevertheless a Secretary-General, noted in a book recentl y year in which the Council had to take some very published, but written long before last December , unpleasant decisions .

Some of the mos t GRAX T RAN Ov 7 distinguished figures in the arts world are amon g those who have served, and are serving, the Art s Council in this way . ~ X This need to preserve a balance of provisio n between London and the other regions explains a number of the Council's decisions . It is the reason , for example, why the Council warned the Prospec t (touring) Theatre Company when it moved fou r years ago into the Old Vic Theatre that the Art s Understandably many of the 41 clients who were cu t Council could in no way fund what spokesmen fo r protested vehemently .

Secretary-General's Repor t

Council is chary of funding an activity in a loca l authority's area for which the local authority show s little concern . That is one reason why we withdrew the grant from Kingston Overground Theatr e Company, to which the Arts Council had give n £39,000, while the Royal Borough of Kingsto n provided no more than £3,000 .

Efficiency in using available resources and goo d financial housekeeping is a criterion which need s little explanation ; but perhaps few people kno w how carefully the Council scrutinises this aspect o f companies' work . It must do this because it i s responsible for the expenditure of public money :

Priority for professional s Finally, and as it has proved, most controversially, th e Council's policy has always been to give priority to funding full-time professional artists . In times whe n finances were easier, the Arts Council made a n exception in the case of the National Youth Theatre , the National Youth Orchestra and the Nationa l Youth Brass Band, giving them small grants . I n December 1980 it decided that when there was a clear prospect of professional actors and musician s losing employment through their companies o r orchestras going into liquidation it must reassert it s traditional policy - one which actually derives fro m the pre-history of the Council, when the Council fo r the Encouragement of Music and the Arts decide d during the war that it must concentrate its limite d funds on professional work . We are again in tha t situation . When we withdrew the grant from thes e companies we commended them to the attention o f business sponsors as specially interesting enterprises . Happily, the National Youth Orchestra has no w found a sponsor which gives it more than the Art s Council could, and the National Youth Theatre i n addition to acquiring a business sponsor has a further grant from the Department of Education an d Science (which seems in many ways a mor e appropriate source of funding for work wit h schoolchildren) . This together with the results of a special appeal means that the National Yout h Theatre too is already better off than before ou r withdrawal of grant . We welcome both thes e developments .

These are some of the main criteria which the Arts Oriental Gateway by Ken Draper, commissioned by th e Council applies. Often a delicate reconciliation has University of Bradford with assistance from the Art fo r to be made between two criteria . For example, to Public Spaces Scheme .

Why the cuts were necessary

In the five years from 1976-1981 the actual total Grant-in-Aid figure s appear reasonably generous : FIGURE 1

[i n 1976/77 1977/78 1978/79 1979/80 1980/81 80

30 E37,150,000 41,725,000 51,800,000 63,125,000 70,970,000

However, ahhough inflation in arts expenditure rises more steepl y than the level of inflation as reflected by the Retail Price Index, th e above figures shown in real terms indicate that the value of what th e Grant-in-Aid could support has not risen to anywhere near the leve l indicated by the above graph . Using the average Retail Price index over the past five years, and with January 1974 as 100, the real picture is as follows : FIGURE 2

£m 1976/77 1977/78 1978/79 1979/80 1980/81 30

20 £22,750,000 22,409,000 25,694,000 27,034,000 26, 130,000

It is important to note that the above graph does not change if th e Retail Price Index is related to 100 at March 1981 .

42

The effects of showing the Grant-in-Aid in real terms in 1980/81 ar e further exacerbated by two features : first, the published Governmen t figures for 1981/84 which indicate further reductions in the level o f expenditure in real terms during the forthcoming years ; and secon d the fact that the Counci l's application for its annual Grant over the fiv e years indicated the new work to which it was committed . For example , [I million of new money had to be found for English National Oper a North in 1978/79 and 1979/80 ; the National Theatre Compan y expanded its operation during 1976/77 and 1977/78 when it move d from the Old Vic to the three auditoria on the South Bank . New theatres opened as a consequence of earlier Housing the Arts grants , in Bromley, Ipswich, Salisbury and Manchester (the Royal Exchange ) involving nearly £ ;- million of additional Arts Council subsidy . Man y smaller ventures started such as the National Centre for Orchestra ] Studies, the National Opera School, Opera 80, and the Visiting Art s Unit, all involving additional funding . If the costs of all these new ventures, which successive Ministers wer e HGURE 3 (WITH well aware we were undertaking, are similarly index-linked and the n FIGURE 2 set aside from our Grant-in-Aid, the balance of funds available ha s SUPERIMPOSED) been as follows :

E m 1976/77 1977/78 1978/79 1979/80 1980/81 £ m 30 30

20 20 121,475,000 1,796,000 24,655,000 16,253,000 26,118,000

One further factor which has to be borne in mind is that these figure s only show one year against the preceding year . For example, th e £138,000 found for the Manchester Royal Exchange Company i n 1976%77 was completely new money . Even if one ignores the fact tha t such subsidies actually increase each year, the base figure for this ne w work has increased by almost E4 million between 1976 and 1981 . Thi s accounts for more than the increase in our Grant-in-Aid in real term s from E22,750,000 in 1976/77 to £26,130,000 in 1980/81 ,

The illustrations highlight the financial reasons for making the cuts i n the Council's work in 1981/81 when the Council found it had to wor k within a total of E80,250,000 .

The Council may incur commitments durin g a financial year in the full knowledge that they will not fall due for payment until the following financial year and wil l have to be met from that year's Parliamentary Grant-in-Aid . The Income and Expenditure Account includes a s expenditure the total commitments incurred during the financial year, and under income the total amount of Grant-in - Aid allocated to meet those commitments including a sum earmarked by the Council from the following year' s Parliamentary Grant-in-Aid . This sum is shown as an asset in the Balance Sheet .

Notes to the Accounts

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIE S

The Accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and on a basis which takes account of th e Statements of Standard Accounting Practice drawn up by the Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies, so fa r as these are appropriate to the Council .

a Grants and guarantees Grants and guarantees are charged to the income and Expenditure Account in the year for which they are undertake n as a commitment by the Council on the basis of a formal offer to and acceptance by the Council's clients . Any amounts unpaid from these commitments are shown as liabilities on the Balance Sheet and any advance payments t o clients in anticipation of the grants and guarantees to be offered for the following financial year are shown in th e Balance Sheet as assets .

b Fixed asset s Expenditure on fixed assets is charged as an appropriation from the Income and Expenditure Account to th e Council's capital account . The book value of any assets sold or written off is eliminated from the Balance Sheet by a reduction in capital account. Any proceeds of sale are credited to income . Fixed assets are not depreciated . Any expenditure on renewals is charged against income .

All works of art are included under fixed assets and form an integral part of the Council's exhibition programm e

c Stocks Stocks are stated at cost on a unit cost basis, or at net realisable value if lower .

d Exhibition s Expenditure incurred on an exhibition promoted by the Council is charged to the year in which that exhibition i s officially opened to the public. Expenditure incurred in a year prior to that opening is treated as a prepayment .

e Consolidation The Arts Council of Great Britain is legally responsible for the affairs of the Scottish Arts Council and the Welsh Art s Council, which are by constitution committees of the Council . However in view of the powers delegated to thos e committees they present separate accounts which are not consolidated with those of the Arts Council .

Table A Housing the Arts 1980/8 1

In 1980/81 the Arts Council 's Grant-in-Aid of £70,970,000 included £1,470,000 for Housing the Arts . The details of how this was spent can b e found at the end of Schedules 1, where £1,236,800 is accounted for i n England, £158,200 in Scotland and £75,000 in Wales . The grant include d £100,000 for the Royal Opera House towards the Covent Garde n Development Fund, £275,000 as the final instalment of a special gran t towards the improvement of Touring Theatres and £350,000 for th e National Theatre towards the cost of completing the theatre complex o n the South Bank. During 1980/81 £350,000 was paid to the Royal Oper a House (including £250,000 committed and paid to other Housing th e Arts projects during 1979/80) . The sum of £350,000 for the Nationa l Theatre remains earmarked for this purpose, the cash being used i n 1980/81 to meet other Housing the Arts commitments .

The Arts Council was also empowered to enter into commitment s during 1980/81 to make provision for Housing the Arts up to a total o f £3,292,000. However, in view of the continued restrictions by the Offic e of Arts and Libraries on the cash allocation, the Council has had t o maintain a close review of its commitments and restrict the m accordingly. As a result of this, at 31 March 1981 only £1,645,000 ha d been thus committed out of the total £3,292,000 authorised . The detail s are set out below :
