Can I ask the Mayor to consider setting up a mayoral scholarship to help fund talented young people to study in the arts, specifically in areas such as visual art, writing, dance, music and theatre. I'm sure there would be many commercial organisations that would be willing to fund such a programme to help disadvantaged young people into the world of the arts where social mobility has seriously declined.
