HC Deb 31 July 1956 vol 557 c131W
Sir C. Taylor

asked the Minister of Education whether, in approving the placing of contracts for new schools, he will recommend that a small sum shall be made available for decorative art, sculpture, etc.

Sir D. Eccles

Works of art may be provided in any new educational building so long as the expenditure involved is reasonable and within the normal limits of cost for the building as a whole. A number of local authorities have been both willing and able to take advantage of this arrangement.
