§ Mr. Fauldsasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has received the communication from the Board of Trustees of the National Galleries of Scotland expressing its wish for a free day at the institutions in its charge; and whether, in his reply, he will bear in mind its responsibilities in this regard.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellYes. I am considering the board's wish in the light of the Government's proposed scheme of charges. Since one of the board's galleries shares a building with the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland, I am also seeking the views of the latter's trustees.
