HC Deb 11 June 1928 vol 218 cc655-6W
Mr. PONSONBY

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will give a list of the artistic, musical and scientific institutions which receive grants from public funds?

Mr. SAMUEL

The institutions of the nature indicated, besides the national galleries and museums which receive direct grants from the Exchequer under the Scientific Investigation Vote, are specified, with the amount of the grant in each case, in Class IV 8 of the Civil Estimates for 1928. In addition, grants are made from the Education Votes in Class IV to Universities, colleges, schools and many other institutions whose activities are primarily educational, and from the Development Fund to certain agricultural and fishery research societies of which particulars will he found in the Annual Reports of the Development Commission.
