HC Deb 18 February 1954 vol 523 c2134
20. Miss Ward

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what amount of money allocated as grants in aid to the Arts Council, since its formation to date, has been made available for the acquisition of a total or partial interest in ballet, opera or theatre companies; and what are the names of the companies.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

None, Sir.

Miss Ward

Is there any likelihood of any alteration in the policy of the Arts Council as approved by Her Majesty's Government?

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Perhaps the hon. Lady will put that question down.
