HC Deb 20 November 1967 vol 754 c253W
Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what action has followed the decision to set up a Yorkshire Association of the Arts, announced by the Government on 21st December, 1966; and if he will make a statement.

Miss Jennie Lee

Action to bring this Association into being must depend on local initiative and good will. Although proposals to establish the Association have found wide acceptance in principle, I understand that the difficulties to which I referred in my reply to the hon. Member on 5th June, 1967 have not yet been overcome.—[Vol. 747; c.143.]
