Isle of Wight MP Bob Seely has received support from the government in his campaign to attract national cultural institutions to the Island.
Speaking in Parliament recently, Bob asked culture minister Michael Ellis:
“Will the Minister do all he can to support my campaign to encourage national cultural institutions to engage with the Island, for education and regeneration purposes?

In reply the minister said he agreed with Bob. He added:
“Arts Council England South West has identified the cultural development of the Isle of Wight as one of its key activities for 2018 to 2020, and we support that.”
