HC Deb 25 February 1969 vol 778 c274W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will authorise the Arts Council to sponsor a foundation in cinematographic art at a Scottish university.

Miss Jennie Lee

It is open to a Scottish University to consider, in consultation with the University Grants Committee, the establishment of a department concerned with film as an art form. This is not a question for the Arts Council, who have no responsibility in this field.
