Broomhill House, Tunbridge Wells

HC Deb 15 May 1973 vol 856 c275W

32. Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will consult the Director and Trustees of the Science Museum as to their views on the preservation of Broomhill House, Tunbridge Wells, with its early electrical installations, and their recommendations as to its use for the housing of the British Piano Museum.

Mr. St. John-Stevas

Broomhill House is the responsibility of the Secretary of State for Social Services and any question of making accommodation available to the British Piano Museum would be for him. The advice of the Science Museum on the preservation of the electrical installations would be available if required.

Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will arrange for a feasibility study to be made of the establishment of the British Piano Museum in Broomhill House, Tunbridge Wells.

Mr. St. John-Stevas

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to his similar Question today.
