HC Deb 26 July 1962 vol 663 c175W
45. Mr. Jeger

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of 'the increasing demands on the Arts Council for financial assistance, he will make an additional allocation to it.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

In view of the substantial increase made in this grant this year, I very much doubt whether such an increase, which in fairness I should say the Council has not asked for, could be justified.
