HC Deb 07 May 1963 vol 677 c209
8. Mr. R. W. Elliott

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what increased public access he proposes to allow to newly restored parts of Hampton Court.

Mr. SharpLes

Two late Tudor rooms, near the Wolsey Suite, are to be repaired this year, and then opened to the public as part of the tour of the State Apartments. A small collection of exhibits associated with Hampton Court Palace will be shown in these rooms and the adjoining Wolsey Suite. The Cumberland Suite, on the east side of Clock Court, is also to be restored this year, and the public will be admitted when work is completed.

Mr. Elliott

I thank my hon. Friend for that reply. Will he continue to publicise Hampton Court, which is as historic a palace as any in Europe?

Mr. Sharples

Yes, Sir. I agree with my hon. Friend.
