§ Major PRESCOTTasked the President of the Board of Education whether the increased cost of admission to the Tower of London is prohibiting school visits; and whether the Government is prepared to give free admission to the Tower of London and other national museums in the case of scholars' educational visits sanctioned by either His Majesty's inspector or the local education authority?
§ Mr. FISHERRepresentations to the effect of the first part of the question have recently been brought to my notice, and I am in communication with my right hon. Friend the First Commissioner of Works on the subject. With regard to the second part of the question, I may point out that the museums under the control of the Board of Education are open free to the public.
