HC Deb 22 March 1960 vol 620 c23W
70. Sir R. Robinson

asked the Minister of Works whether, in view of the value as a tourist attraction of the floodlighting of historic buildings and monuments under his control, he will increase the scale of this floodlighting during the coming season.

Lord John Hope

As my hon. Friend knows, floodlighting is now carried out on a very considerable scale in London. Whilst I cannot increase further the money available for the actual floodlighting, I shall continue to encourage by way of technical advice, any local authority which is prepared to undertake a scheme for any ancient monument in its area.
