§ Sir WILLIAM BULLasked the Prime Minister if he will consider the advisability of appointing a Royal Commission on the Pictures in the United Kingdom similar to that of the Royal Commission on Manuscripts?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am not quite sure that I understand the hon. Member's suggestion. The Historical Manuscripts Commission is engaged in calendaring and reproducing, with the consent of the owners, manuscripts of interest in private possession. I think that a similar proposal with regard to pictures would not be equally well received.
