HC Deb 25 February 1969 vol 778 c274W
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

The difficulties mentioned in my Reply of 5th June, 1967, have largely been overcome. A meeting to launch the Association will be held at the University of Bradford on 1st March. I understand that all three Ridings and the majority of county boroughs are expected to join the Association from the start.—[Vol. 747, c. 143.]
