Public Buildings (Opening Hours)

HC Deb 14 July 1971 vol 821 cc102-3W

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment why he will not take whatever action may be deemed necessary to encourage local authorities to keep their public buildings open for 17 hours from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

This is a matter for the local authorities themselves to decide in the light of local circumstances.
