HC Deb 01 May 1974 vol 872 c482W
Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will consider the establishment of a special contingency fund to be used to assist in the purchase of works of art of outstanding merit which might otherwise be lost to the nation.

Mr. Hugh Jenkins

The establishment of such a fund is unnecessary as provision already exists for the Government to make special grants in individual cases where circumstances justify them.
