§ 57. Major Beamishasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give an assurance that his acceptance of the suggestion of the Trustees of the Henry Wood National Memorial Trust that the funds of the trust should be devoted to the provision of a separate small hall within the new Queen's Hall building, to be known as the Henry Wood Hall, and so designed as to be specifically suited to orchestral and choral rehearsals, will not prejudice the suitability of the hall for rehearsals of full symphony orchestras and large choirs; and if he is satisfied that this would be fully in accordance with the recently-expressed wishes of important subscribers to the trust.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterNo detailed plans have been made for the new Queen's Hall building. But we intend the Henry Wood Hall to be suitable for full scale orchestral and choral rehearsals. This seems to be in accordance with the wishes of subscribers to the Trust Fund.
