§ 43. Mr. Fletcherasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he will announce his plans for the future for the London Museum.
§ Sir E. BoyleI have had some exploratory discussions with representatives of the London Museum Trustees, the City of London and the London County Council. It is too early to say what the outcome will be.
§ Mr. FletcherWill the Financial Secretary bear in mind that this is a rather favourable moment for integrating the respective interests of the London Museum Trustees, the London County Council and the City Corporation? If the hon. Gentleman could use his good offices to bring about some integration of these efforts to provide a museum worthy of the Metropolis, it would be appreciated.
§ Sir E. BoyleI am grateful for the hon. Member's interest in this matter. Any help which I can give towards the success of these discussions will be freely given.
