HC Deb 09 May 1988 vol 133 c33W
63. Mr. Andrew Mitchell

To ask the Minister for the Arts how many new theatres have been opened in the last three years.

Mr. Luce

The Office of Arts and Libraries does not maintain records on this subject. The available information indicates that six new theatres have been opened in the last three years, with a further theatre due to open at the end of the year. In addition, at least six theatres have reopened, and at least six more have been extensively refurbished.
