§ Mr. WALTER GUINNESSasked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether he can state when the Natural History Museum will be re-opened to the public; and why it has been considered necessary to keep the greater part of it closed after the Victoria and Albert Museum, the National Gallery, and the Tate Gallery have been re-opened?
§ Mr. MASTERMANA large part of the Natural History Museum is open to the general public every day (including Sunday). The re-opening of all the galleries is a matter within the discretion of the trustees, who will, I understand, consider it at their next meeting in a few days' time.
