HC Deb 25 February 1958 vol 583 cc180-1
10. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Minister of Works whether, in view of the success of Son et Lumière at Greenwich, he will allow a similar event to be mounted in Westminster Hall when this House is not sitting.

Mr. Molson

I appreciate my hon. Friend's sentiments, but I do not think opinion amongst hon. Members would approve a show of this kind in Westminster Hall.

Mr. Goodhart

While appreciating the point made by my right hon. Friend, may I ask him to bear in mind that this new art form has great educational value and engages the attention of young people with the great events that are now passed.

Mr. Molson

I am much obliged to my hon. Friend. I hope that a great many hon. Members attended the Son et Lumière at Greenwich last year. I am most anxious to do all I can to extend the use of this new form of art throughout both kingdoms, but I am doubtful whether the introduction of it into Westminster Hall would be acceptable.
