HC Deb 28 March 1968 vol 761 c319W
61. Mr. Channon

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what action he proposes to take to implement the Arts Council Report on Young People's Theatre.

Miss Jennie Lee

Implementation is a matter for the Arts Council. Many have already been put into effect. A Young People's Theatre Panel has been established, and emergency grants totalling £14,350 were made in 1966–67 to five professional children's theatre companies. In 1967–68 the Arts Council has allocated £90,000 for the support of young people's theatre.
