HC Deb 09 May 1963 vol 677 c657
37. Mr. Robert Cooke

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will authorise the National Buildings Record to acquire from the British Travel and Holidays Association the architectural photographs at present in their possession.

The Economic Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. Edward du Cann)

This is a matter for the Council of the National Buildings Record, but I understand that it will see the latest photographs of the British Travel and Holidays Association so that the Record can secure whatever copies it wishes.

Mr. Cooke

Is the Economic Secretary aware that it will be a surprise to many people that the British Travel and Holidays Association actually knows what photographs it has? Even if some of them are of a purely picturesque nature, they are better than none for the purposes of the National Buildings Record, which has no photographs at all of some buildings.

Mr. du Cann

The point is certainly being attended to.
