§ Mr. Chris SmithTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what assurances he has(a) sought and (b) received in relation to the continued use of Elstree film studios for film production following the recent deal for the disposal of the studio properties.
§ Mr. AtkinsNo such assurances have been sought or received. It is the Government's view that the future use of the site is a matter for the new owners to determine, subject to any consents which may be required from the planning authorities.
