HC Deb 14 February 1994 vol 237 c578W
Mr. Faulds

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if he will publish the attendance figures for 1993 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 figures in each case of the percentage increase or decrease on the attendance figures for 1992.

Mr. Sproat

[holding answer 18 January 1994]: Except for the British museum these attendance figures are now provided for financial years not for calendar years.

I list forecasts for the number of visitors to the 11 national museums and galleries in England for which I am responsible for the current financial year and the actual figures for the financial year 1992–93. More accurate figures for 1993–94 will be available later in July.
