HC Deb 17 April 1930 vol 237 c3147W
Sir K. VAUGHAN-MORGAN

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, before further expenditure is incurred out of public funds in respect of the Hendon extension, he will set on foot an inquiry to consider the advisability of extending the British Museum newspaper store at Hendon?

Mr. LANSBURY

The Royal Commission on National Museums and Galleries reviewed recently the question of storage at the British Museum and made a definite recommendation in favour of extending the existing newspaper store at Hendon. In the circumstances, I do not think that any further inquiry is necessary.
