HC Deb 17 December 1957 vol 580 c174
3. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Works whether he will take the initiative in making available a suitable public building under his control to the Victoria and Albert Museum for a display of Tudor furniture.

Mr. Molson

No, Sir, I understand that the museum has no requirement for any such accommodation.

Mr. Parker

Would it not be possible for the right hon. Gentleman to approach the Crown to see whether St. James's Palace could be made available for this kind of museum display? Other palaces, like Hampton Court and Kensington, have been made available when no longer in use by the Royal Family.

Mr. Molson

No, Sir. It would not be appropriate for me to make any approach in this matter.
