HC Deb 23 July 1980 vol 989 c230W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will make a statement of Her Majesty's Government's view of the recommendation in the Drew report on the establishment of a national museums council.

Mr. St. John-Stevas

I am not yet ready to do so. The recommendations in this report are under consideration in my Department and I have myself had a number of discussions about them and intend to have more. It will I think take some time before decisions can be reached on the important and difficult issues raised in the report.
