HC Deb 14 December 1961 vol 651 cc75-6W
90. Mr. Hannan

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make it a condition of his proposed grant of £150,000 for provincial theatres that a proportion of it should be allocated to the Scottish Arts Council.

Mr. Brooke

The £150,000 is intended for the whole of Great Britain. It is for the Arts Council to decide, after consultation with their Scottish Committee, what proportion of it should be allocated to Scotland.
