Geraint Talfan Davies Chairman, The Arts Council of Wales The First Minister’s statement raises many issues for the Council and the sector and, very importantly, for the future of our staff. We welcome the proposed creation of a Culture Board. However, we have serious concerns about several aspects of the proposals, including the implied separation of strategy formulation from the grant-giving operation and the proposed separate treatment for the six national arts companies. We will be seeking an early meeting with Ministers to gain more clarity on the proposals. We will work to ensure that both our staff and the whole of the creative community in Wales are fully supported throughout any change. The Council will meet on Friday to consider its response.
