10. The future 2015 Vision Capital projects Comprehensive Spending Review 2010

11. 2010 Spending Review A spending review for the years 2011/12 through to 2014/15 was announced by the coalition government. This review was driven by a desire to reduce government spending in order to cut the budget deficit. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne announced the details of the spending review on 20 October 2010. The cuts have been described as the biggest since World War II. The review will lead to an £81 billion cut in public spending in the remaining four years of the parliament, with average departmental cuts of 19%.

12. Nick Serota, The Guardian, Oct 2010 ‘A Blitzkrieg on the Arts’ 'The idea that you can cut a £180bn deficit by slicing money out of the budget of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport is frankly absurd." The words of an arts bureaucrat, theatre director, artist or writer with a special case to plead? No: Nick Clegg's, in the election campaign. Now his coalition wants cuts for culture and sport, over the next four years, of between 25% and 30% – the greatest crisis in the arts and heritage since government funding began in 1940.

13. With the ruthlessness of a blitzkrieg the coalition is threatening the stability of an entire system for cultural provision that has been built up by successive Conservative and Labour governments: a mixed economy of public and private support that has made Britain a civilised place to live, where all have an opportunity to enjoy the arts or celebrate our heritage, and have been doing so in increasing numbers.
