HC Deb 05 August 1947 vol 441 c149W
102. Mr. Keeling

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether he is making any arrangements for properly- equipped theatres in new towns.

Mr. F. Marshall

To secure that in new towns there is adequate provision for the arts—including the dramatic art with its need for properly equipped theatres—is a responsibility which rests primarily on the respective development corporations, and it is one which I am confident they will not overlook.
