HC Deb 25 October 1968 vol 770 c387W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, whether he will seek an annual return from each local authority showing what it is spending on the arts.

Miss Jennie Lee

I agree that such a return would be valuable, but it would be difficult for many local authorities to separate their expenditure on entertainment from that on the arts. I will, however, keep the suggestion in mind.
