HC Deb 17 December 1957 vol 580 c46W
Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what difficulties he is experiencing in the provision of cinemas in new towns; and if he will consult the Chancellor of the Exchequer concerning ways and means of attracting cinema proprietors to these areas.

Mr. H. Brooke

No new cinema has yet been built in a new town, but the towns are still young. I am in hopes that the construction of the first new cinemas will begin soon. I do not think it necessary to consult with my right hon. Friend.
