§ Mr. K. Robinsonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government to what extent Her Majesty's Theatre will be affected by the redevelopment of the Carlton Hotel site; whether any application for planning permission involving Her Majesty's Theatre has yet reached him in accordance with the undertaking given by his predecessor concerning the preservation of London theatres; and if he will give an assurance that Her Majesty's will be preserved as a theatre.
§ Mr. H. BrookeThe theatre will not be affected by the present redevelopment of the Carlton Hotel site. Under present arrangements I understand that the New Zealand Government hope to obtain possession of the theatre site in 1970 when the current lease expires, but so far as I am aware no plans have yet been formulated for any developments thereafter.
