HC Deb 16 March 1916 vol 80 c2243
23. Mr. BUTCHER

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he will state how many museums and picture galleries in England which are under the control of the municipal authorities have been closed to the public since the beginning of the War, and how many are still open?

Mr. LONG

I regret to inform my hon. and learned Friend that I have not the information he desires.

Mr. BUTCHER

Is it not ascertainable from any quarter?

Mr. LONG

It can only be got by applying to the local authorities all over the country.
