§ 59. Mr. Teelingasked the Secretary to the Treasury how many of the Lane Bequest pictures are now hanging in the National Gallery and the Tate Gallery: how many are in storage and how long 16W they have been in storage; and how many other works of the painters included in the Lane Bequest are to be found now in the National Gallery and Tate Gallery.
§ Mr. H. BrookeI would refer my hon. Friend to my reply to the hon. and learned Member for Aberdeen, North (Mr. Hector Hughes) yesterday.
Most of the 15 paintings at present in storage at the National Gallery were transferred there some six months ago from the Tate Gallery. They had been exhibited at the Tate from time to time since the war, and on at least one occasion were shown as a complete group. The 8 pictures not at present on exhibition at the Tate have been in store there for about a year.
Other works by painters represented in the Lane Bequest are as follows:
