Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what steps she is taking to implement the recommendations in the Museums and Galleries Commission report on museums and coal mining. [31635]

Mr. Sproat

The report on museums and coal mining has been prepared by an independent consultant for the Museums and Galleries Commission. The commission is currently considering the recommendations in the report. If, following that consideration, the commission wishes to raise any specific aspects of the report with the Government, my Department will be prepared to consider these, in consultation with the Scottish Office and the Welsh Office.
