§ Mr. FauldsTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what were the attendance figures for 1992 reported by the national museums and galleries in England for which he is responsible, broken down into the individual institutions, but including their outstations, with the figures in each case of the percentage increase or decrease on the attendance figures for 1991.
§ Mr. Key[pursuant to his reply, 19 January 1992, c. 133]: I am pleased to record that the 1992 admission figures for the natural history museum are higher than indicated in my earlier reply to the hon. Member. The estimated admission figure was 1,659,000 for 1992, which gives a change of 10 per cent. over the figures for 1991. This increase effects the estimated total figure for all the national museums and galleries, which should now be 22,813,985 with an overall percentage increase of 6.4 per cent. over 1991.
