§ 12. Mr. Liddallasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he proposes to accept the recent offer of the gift of a private collection of clothing and costumes with a view to placing them in some public building either in Lancashire, Yorkshire, or London, in order that they may be available for the instruction of the textile industry?
§ The President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Oliver Stanley)My attention has been drawn to a letter in the Press in which an offer of this kind was made. I fear, however, that I have no building or funds at my disposal to enable the collection to be housed and displayed.
