HC Deb 16 February 1971 vol 811 cc428-9W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if the Paymaster-General has received a communication from the Basilica Productions Limited; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. van Straubenzee

On 11th February my noble Friend the Paymaster-General received from Basilica Productions Limited a copy of a report which had been sent to the Arts Council of Great Britain and which incorporated an application for financial assistance from the Council. My noble Friend has read the report with interest, but the question of financial assistance is one for the Arts Council itself.
