HC Deb 02 February 1981 vol 998 c19
28. Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has any plans to visit the regions to discuss provision for the arts.

Mr. Channon

Yes, Sir. I want to see what is happening in as many places as possible outside London, so that I can learn what both the problems and the achievements have been.

Mr. Cormack

I thank my right hon. Friend for that answer and for the one that he gave a few minutes ago. Has he an itinerary that he can put before the House of the places that he will visit during the next few months?

Mr. Channon

I think that I had perhaps better write to my hon. Friend with details. I am starting next month, and I shall go on. I hope to visit Staffordshire in the autumn.
