HC Deb 17 July 1956 vol 556 c82W
Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport

asked the Minister of Education how many county councils let school halls to such bodies as amateur dramatic societies; to what extent such lettings result in a profit having regard to the additional expenses of cleaning, etc., involved; and if he will suggest to other county councils that they should give careful and sympathetic consideration to adopting a similar policy, in cases where a profit will result.

Sir D. Eccles

I keep no record of the number or terms of such lettings, which are settled by the local education or other school authority in the light of local needs and circumstances.
