Dame Mary Archer, a former chair of the Science Museum Group, will lead a government review of the use of public money by Arts Council England (ACE).
Archer, the wife of the former Tory party deputy chair and novelist Jeffrey Archer, will look at whether the body can find cost savings of 5% and assess the “ambition and quality” of ACE-funded projects, according to an announcement by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
