§ Lord Shutt of Greetlandasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether the unique narrow gauge railway artefacts under the custodianship of Derry City Council would be better placed with the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum. [HL431]
§ Lord Williams of MostynThe railway heritage of Derry City Council and the North West of Ireland Railway Society are jointly housed in Foyle Valley Railway Museum, which is closed while Derry City Council reviews its viability.
It is preferable that these artefacts retain their historic links by remaining in Londonderry and I hope that the council and the railway society can resolve their differences for the benefit of all.
