Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what his plans are for the use of the Fine Rooms at Somerset House.

Mr. Shore

A crafts exhibition will be held in the Fine Rooms for four weeks from 20th July next. The rooms will be closed during the autumn and winter while works are carried out to improve facilities in the basement. Meanwhile, consideration is being given to the selection of pictures and objects worthy of display in these rooms.
