§ 27. Mrs. Whiteasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a further statement on the closure of cinemas in Scotland.
§ Mr. N. MacphersonMy right hon. Friend regrets that the statement given in Answer to the Question by the hon. Member for Coatbridge and Airdrie (Mr. Dempsey) on 11th April inadvertently included one cinema closed in Flintshire in 1959. The number closed for that year should thus be 63 and the total of closures for the six years 168. I am grateful to the hon. Lady for the opportunity to correct this.
§ Mrs. WhiteI am grateful to the Minister for his apology, and on behalf of the people of Wales and, in the absence of my hon. Friend the Member for Coatbridge and Airdrie (Mr. Dempsey), who cannot be here today, also on behalf of the people of Scotland, I accept the apology.
