HC Deb 22 May 1989 vol 153 c399W
59. Mr. Andrew Mitchell

To ask the Minister for the Arts if he will make a further statement on the rehousing of the British Theatre Association library.

Mr. Luce

I am pleased to say that the British Theatre Association has accepted the generous offer of Mr. Robert Holmes a'Court to provide both premises for the association in central London and financial backing to enable it to continue its operation on a firm basis. I was pleased to have been able to provide the association, through the British Library, with professional advice on its library operations, and I have contributed £25,000 towards its transitional costs.
