§ 48. Mr. Parkasked the Minister of Public Building and Works how the attendance figures and receipts for 1964 at the historic monuments in his care compare with those for 1963.
§ Mr. BoydenIn 1964, some 8,330,000 people visited monuments at which there is an admission charge, and the revenue amounted to just under £427,000. These are record figures, and represent an increase of upwards of 703,000 visitors and more Than £61,000 in revenue over the 1963 total.
§ Mr. ParkWhile thanking my hon. Friend for that reply, may I ask him whether he does not believe that the position could be still further improved if he were to include among the historical monuments under his care some hon. Members opposite?
§ Mr. BoydenThere is, in fact, a committee meeting on this subject later today, when my hon. Friend's suggestion can, perhaps, be considered.
