The Minister is right that progress has been made, but the fact remains that the targets are not being met. Will he look at two areas where there could be an increase: first, in representation, with public appointments to encourage more black and ethnic minority people to become involved in the process; and, secondly, the way in which the Arts Council deals with the allocation of funds for ethnic minority groups? I have written to him about the Emmanuel gospel choir in my constituency, and there is a round robin going between his Department and others. Surely, one way in which to increase confidence in the black and ethnic minority community is to ensure that the process is as consumer-friendly as possible.

I know of the excellence of the Emmanuel gospel choir and I am sure that the meetings that I know my hon. Friend is keen to take up with the Arts Council will bear fruit. I remind him that the Arts Council has been able to increase the amount of money given to black and ethnic minority groups to 10 per cent. of the overall spend. We must applaud that recent progress. But my hon. Friend is right. We want to see progress across the board. That is why it is important that the schemes that the Arts Council has put in place, such as the decibel scheme, to get money down to the grass roots and build capacity in our arts organisations, are supported.

Mr. Vaz: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will list the annual number of visitors to each of
London's royal parks. [20932]
Mr. Tom Clarke: Responsibility for the subject of this question has been delegated to the Royal Parks Agency under its Chief
Executive, David Welch. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter from David Welch to Mr. Keith Vaz, dated 17 December 1997:
I have been asked by the Secretary of State for Culture Media and Sport to reply to your Parliamentary Question about the annual
number of visitors to London's Royal Parks.
The most recent figures relate to 1995. They are based on counts carried out during annual visitor surveys in the parks and are
therefore approximate.
