HC Deb 18 February 1964 vol 689 c168W
Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what consideration is being given to the furnishing of the Wolsey Rooms at Hampton Court with suitable furniture of the period.

Mr. Rippon

This is a matter for the Lord Chamberlain, who is giving it consideration.

Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what consideration is being given to the better labelling of exhibits in Hampton Court and to the use of recorded commentaries giving a description of the rooms through which the public pass.

Mr. Rippon

The better labelling of exhibits in the State Apartments at Hampton Court Palace is being considered by the Lord Chamberlain, whose responsibility this is. I am looking into the possibility of having recorded commentaries at more historic buildings in my charge, including Hampton Court Palace.
