§ Mr. Buchananasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to be able to authorise Glasgow District Council to start work on the gallery to house the Burrell Collection.
§ Mr. MillanWhile available resources will not permit me to authorise Glasgow940W District Council to make a start on the building of a gallery to house the Burrell Collection in the current financial year or in 1977–78 I am glad to say that I shall be able to give consent to a start early in the financial year 1978–79 and that the Government will offer the council a grant which will meet about half of the net cost of the building. My Department will be communicating details of the offer to the Council very shortly.
