Forum Cleaning

"When the theatre is used we incur additional cleaning costs," Mr. Ian Boyd, the Union managing-secretary, told Salient. He was commenting on the fact that Forum had been asked to pay cleaning costs for the use of the theatre.

"The cleaning contract provides that the theatre is cleaned only when it has been used—and the foyer has to be vacuum cleaned," he said.

"A certain discretion is used in individual instances," he commented, "but where there is a consistent user such as Forum the charges which we incur are considerable and must be passed on."
