HC Deb 31 July 1974 vol 878 c251W
Mr. Money

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what discussions he had held with the trustees of the national collections regarding the grants to these institutions for the next quinquennium.

Mr. Hugh Jenkins

The Standing Commission on Museums and Galleries has invited all the institutions to consider what the level of acquisition grants should be when the present quinquennium ends on 31st March next. I am in touch with the discussions which are going on and if, when I have had the advice of the standing commission, further discussion with the trustees of the national collections is desirable, I will make arrangements for this.
