HC Deb 14 June 1995 vol 261 c517W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what consideration he gave to arranging for the Sir Winston Churchill wartime documents to be circulated to museums and county archives throughout the United Kingdom, instead of being housed permanently at Churchill college, Cambridge; and if he will make a statement. [27935]

Mr. Dorrell

In making a grant to the Sir Winston Churchill archive trust, access to the archives and the conservation and presentation of the papers to scholars and the general public were always key priorities for the trustees of the national heritage memorial Fund. Churchill college, Cambridge will be mounting an exhibition of selected papers from the Churchill archive at the Jock Colville hall, from 29 June to 4 July. There are also plans to show selected papers at the British museum, at the national museums of Scotland and Wales and at other institutions in the near future.
