§ Mr. LuceI am cautiously optimistic about Sadler's Well, though it is, of course, for the theatre, as a receiving theatre, to resolve its own funding problems. It has received increased rents from Arts Council clients; and two sponsors, the Digital Equipment Company and Northern Telecom, have come forward with substantial support. I was very glad to be able to add £25,000 to one of those sponsorships from my own business sponsorship incentive scheme.
