HC Deb 20 January 1969 vol 776 c43W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will take steps, in conjunction with the Arts Council, to form a special collection of works of sculpture for display in public parks and squares.

Miss Jennie Lee

Since 1957 the Arts Council has organised annually an outdoor exhibition of loaned sculpture which has been shown in many settings including public parks and squares. This year it hopes to commission some original works for its exhibition. The Council also gives grants to public authorities and universities to enable them to purchase or commission sculpture for public sites.
