HC Deb 17 July 1989 vol 157 cc56-7W
42. Mrs. Golding

To ask the Minister for the Arts what steps he is taking to promote the performing arts in(a) schools and (b) elsewhere.

Mr. Luce

It will be circulated free to all maintained schools. This is one of a number of initiatives that I have taken to ensure that the performing arts reach the widest possible audience.
