HC Deb 17 June 1958 vol 589 c61W
45. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Prime Minister if he will now take steps to appoint a Minister of Culture, Science and Art, to be charged with the duties of maintaining and developing Great Britain's prestige and progress as a patron and exponent of culture, science and the arts.

The Prime Minister

No. I do not believe that the appointment of a Minister would necessarily serve the cause the hon. and learned Gentleman has at heart.
