HC Deb 17 February 1971 vol 811 c493W
Mr. Milan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will now announce the Government's decision on financial assistance for Edinburgh Corporation's proposal for the building of an opera house in Edinburgh.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

My noble Friend the Paymaster-General and I am still considering the application from Edinburgh Corporation for financial assistance towards the estimated cost of providing an opera house at Edinburgh against the background of the Government's support for the arts in general.
